New- Dargie Delight II & MusicMan Bongo

Been a while since I posted a new bass on here(what 2-3 momths maybe?). I have a couple of new ones I picked up around the holidays.
The first is a 2009 Dargie Delight II Slo Special Stingray. What makes it different from other Stingrays is that it has a color shift paint job which is called "caramel apple." It shifts from a green under normal lighting conditions to a golden color under bright or flash lighting. I have pictures of both shades to show the difference. Another difference is that it has an ebony fretboard and custome abalone/mop inlays. The neck is a Slo Special, which is the thinner Musicman Sterling neck. It has the dual pickups with the 5 way selector switch, making it a very versatile StingRay. The pickguard is a clear pickguard(it came w/a black pg), with a zebra design I cut to fit beneath it.

This is my creme de la creme of basses I've ever owned.


The next one up is my Musicman Bongo in Desert Gold. This bass may not be a favorite amongst many....because of it's radical appearance. Many have dubbed it the "Toilet Bowl." The funny thing is that even the guys on the Ernie Ball forums joke about it. The Bongo despite it's differences is amazingly comfortable to play, hangs perfect on a strap, and has amazing tonal variety. 18 volt preamp, 2 Humbuckers, pickup blend, 4 band eq (low, high, lo-mid, hi-mid).
I prefer the look of my Stingrays, but actually prefer the sound of the Bongo...

The Bongo is nice to play -different too. I wish they had a Stingray with the Bongo preamp.

wow... that Dargie Delight is beautiful.

i think i've been staring at it over 3 minutes now.

if i didn't already have enough basses i would hunt one of those down.

maybe when im older and making some serious money, i'll find one. and probably have to pay an arm and a leg for one.
