    Time For A New Bass

    Okay, ladies, I have slimmed down something fierce (not physically - basses, I mean) and it is time to take stock and see what's next.

    The Rolls Burgundy is now with TK in Kansas. Long live the A&M color scheme!

    The DG Bongo 4 HH is off to Connecticut. I had that bass for a long time and it served me well, but the Flaming Biff filled that niche...so off it went.

    So I am down to the following:

    1. Sapphire Black Bongo 5 HH, king of all Bongos.
    2. Blue Pearl Bongo 5 HSC, about which I am still not sure - I shall gig it soon.
    3. Flaming Biff Bongo 4 HH, even cooler than Dargin's Bongo! (There, I said it.)

    I am leaning heavily toward the Sterling Ball Tribute Bongo - single H in Graphite Pearl. Only I will probably add a string. (I know, Biff, 'real men play four strings' but I'm just an imaginary man anyway).

    I'm ordering Monday. What say you, good people of the EBMM Forum?

    Whatever you get, order two.

    Seriously, I rather like the idea of a Graphite Pearl SR5 HH with a black ice guard.

    Only a joke.

    Whats most important here is that Heinz needs some StingRay 5 company, an HH is what you need Jacko.

    I said get something in Red, mainly becuase Graphite Pearl and Sapphire Black are too similar, and we know the Sapphire Black isn't going anywhere.

    You know you will probably end up with a Graphite Pearl 5H Bongo, so you should go ahead and get that now. The real question is what the next bass will be after that.

    Geez, I had to look all over creation for that list.

    Oooooo! Ooooooo! Looky item number 4. hmmmmmmm...

    Has Jackie already ordered what he wants?

    Is he just teasing us?

    Did he just want us old-timers to dream of those silly days spent with warwick worshipping Nick?

    Or is he gonna be swayed by the opinions of the forumites and get something red?

    Stay tuned and find out.

    I think BH should, at this point, start filling up holes in his harem (you liked that?). Start with an HH Ray.

    Those were some interesting times my friend, interesting times. let's not reminisce too much. Jack may get a little nostalgic and go trigger happy on the "ban for life" button.
