That was what I was facing for my first MM

I ended up going with the 30th because I didnt have to wait for it. If I ever see a Dargie around and I have the means, I may sell off my Warwick Thumb 5 for it

I would get the DD Bongo as I think there will be less of them turn up in the future than the 30ths on the used market.

However you should go with what really rings your bell.

That's a tough decision. I voted for the 30th.
It's got more special features to it whereas the DD is more a paint colour and inlays.
However I'm starting to rethink this.

There are 783 30th Ann. Rays
but only 37 DD Bongos to be built.

Good luck with that!!!!

Tough choice: old school vs. new school

 

[fresnorich]

Or maybe it's: old school vs. too cool

Anyway, good luck with your decision. It's going to be a tough one either way.

I had to vote for the DD Bongo 4H.

I haven't heard anything much sweeter than a single H Bongo.

I think it has all the balls in it.

I have a 30th now, and a DD Bongo 4H fretless on order. I voted for the DD Bongo.

Do you already have the DD on order, or do you know of a dealer with one available?

You know the order window for the DD closed awhile ago, right?

 

[oddjob]

DD - ordered on myself

 

[leftymike]

DD!

 

[azzy_wazzy]

Had to be DD... it's a single H Bongo, and it's MOG!

No brainer for me If you can, DO IT! I regret not being able to do...

 

[Randracula]

I haven't seen anything prettier than a 30th Stingray......do it!

 

[fresnorich]

One other thing to consider is the finish on the back of the neck.

Do you prefer gloss poly or the Opaque Satin Finish?

 

[Bill]

Go for the 30th! (I'm living vicariously through you. )

 

[SteveB]

There were only 4 Dargie Delight Bongo 4 single H basses ordered.

One is being made for me, one is for todd4ta...

So there are only two others in play in the entire world!

 

[bovinehost]

There really is only one good answer.

But okay, I voted for the DD Bongo.

 

[Psycho Ward]

The single hummer Bongo is my favorite, so I'll vote for that.

 

[Caca de Kick]

Simply put, I don't like the looks of a Bongo, so of course I didn't vote for it.

I do have a 30th Ray, and it is much better sounding than a 'regular production' Ray. Like fogman said, the 30th has more features not just a color. And the red case rocks wereas I'm not fond of plastic hardshells I end up spending $ to replace.
