"I initially came across dragonfly Basses thanks to Danny's video reviews on YouTube. I was especially impressed with the tone of the various CS5 models he reviewed.
A while later I was on vacation in Japan and had the chance to try out three or four different CS5 models while in Tokyo.
All the Basses had phenomenal build quality, felt great to play, and were not heavy!
 However, for me the thing that separates these Basses from a lot of the other hi end Japanese Basses is the tone - especially the pre amp.
 The dragonfly preamp is the first I've encountered where the WHOLE range of the EQ is super, super "musical", and it just works. It feels like a lot of thought went into exactly where the frequencies should be set - warm, yet articulate. (The mid switch is also very, very tasteful!)
 At home in London I get called to play lots of different styles from traditional Irish music to traditional African music, and from quiet Jazz concerts and theatre gigs, to very loud Pop  gigs.
dragonfly Basses deliver.
 I'm already thinking about putting in my order for a second model!
Danny was great through the whole build process. He was very patient and helpful with my questions before and during the build process."

"I have been enjoying the dragonfly Fat PJ5 - it has
been my main practice bass since receiving it last year. The neck has been extremely stable despite humid conditions here and I can get a great range of tones from the PJ setup. One of my favourite features is the very musical preamp - when flat there is no audible difference from passive mode (which already sounds great), but yet it's also flexible enough to dial in any tone from vintage thump to a more modern voice for jazz soloing. Highly recommended!"

Super talented young session player selected the dragonfly SJ5 in kurokaki / ash for his main bass playing in the St. Lucia Police Band.

London based bassist, performing with the South London Jazz Orchestra (SLJO), now onto his second dragonfly! 
Michael chose firstly an SJ5 in mahogany with Jazz Pickups and then having played that and being impressed with the build and engineering decided to go for a more versatile CHB5 in Quilted Chestnut with advanced circuitry.  
We thank you Michael, for choosing Bass Japan Direct and Dragonfly twice!

"I was particularly impressed with the fact these are light weight but still sound big, and how well voiced the preamp is.
The fact that you can achieve an action as low as 1.5mm across all strings or lower is also a big bonus. 
I have already ordered another dragonfly, a CHB5 with dual humbuckers for even more versatile tone"

Jens is Julliard graduate,  a German session bassist who plays both Electric and double bass spanning Jazz, groove, fusion and funk and more. 
Jens selected the Fat J5 for it's classic body shape with modern contouring and for the light weight, great tone and balance.
Jens is a killer player, as you would expect coming from Julliard fame!
