Good to hear from you! And you are out playing , very cool. I am playing with the same guys as when you heard us. We are called Bees with Guns now. We are finishing up recording an EP with 5 songs. Pretty excited about that. Also been playing bass with a christian ministry team that goes to prisons. So, staying busy. Still got my bongo and just picked up a sterling 5 H off of talkbass. Used the bongo in the studio thru a tech 21 vt bass pedal and a markbass di tone booster, sounded killer. I will try and send a link when it is done. bert
Hey Danny...one of the things I've noticed since I've been back is....whatever happened to that guy SITONMYBASS? He was very friendly, and his wife even joined the site? I remember he went from owning 1 Stingray, to about 5 MM basses in a few months....but I haven't seen him post?
Yeah...flats rob a Stingray of that nice sound. Hey, so I scored a MINT condition SR4...black on maple...I think it's a 2010 that someone didn't give a chance. I was able to return the Sterling, and am glad I did...this thing is in phenomenal shape. Yeah...Good to be back!
I also meant to ask...are you using Rounds or Flats? What guage?
Hey Danny, So...the Blue Sterling is getting taken back. I got close to doing a good set up, but I think the previous owner might have screwed up the truss rod...or it was never right to begin with. I don't want to crank on it, and it's extremely hard to turn as is, and the neck still has enough bow that I can't get the nice low action I have on my other basses. There is a Guitar Center about 55 miles from my house that has a nice Black and Maple FB Stingray 4 H that I'll be exchanging it for. I guess it'll be nice to have one of each, a Sterling & and Stingray. I don't want to post anything negative about the neck (moreso than I already did) on the Forums. -Rog
I read in your post that they wouldn't let you take the bass on carry on. I am glad to hear it made it alive! Thanks for playing the cd. I put a link on my sig, thanks!
My new band Idiotfish is playing out this week. At the Larimer Lounge Thursday night and Bushwackers Saturday night. Come out and I will buy you some drinks. Thursday night a good friend of mine samantha doom is opening for us. She plays a sterling thru an svt. Her show is one not to miss. She smokes!
Oh...okay...still tough, I betcha your reunions are great though! Nah...your Sunburst looks "Golden" as is...I don't think a white pickup would look very good on it imo.
Thanks Danny, I would prefer to have your configuration. I like Rosewood necks and just one H. But that is what I could find here in Brazil!
Thanks Danny! Love the LE SR you have....butter cream...such a classic looking bass.
