    My Personal Sterling Ball Tribute

    I had my bass shipped to my parents house and it arrived yesterday. Unfortunately I had to go to Austin for business, so I didn't get it till tonight. I had so much to do tonight after I got in town, I didn't even get a chance to unpack until 930ish.

    In honor of the occasion, I poored myself some Scotch.

    Hmmm...what's inside?

    Its a Musicman!

    ooo la la...

    Thanks for the schwag Steebo.

    Sorry for the flash, not exactly a lot of natural light at 10pm.

    No flashie, kinda dark.


    My Bongos scare things, I have proof...

    And here is my personal tribute to Sterling Ball

    Two Bongos in his favorite pickup configuration, and of course, one Sterling.

    Congrats Paul! Beautiful collection you have there. Let me know if you'd like to trade your fretless for mine for a while.

    Just got home from playing my Single H Bongo 5. I can't hear you and my fingers are no where near my ears.


    Fingers in the ear are only a slight reduction in sound.

    Order one. You may feel free to choose the color. But Paul has one of the best colors there is.

    IMHO

    I'm afraid that abalone has become The New Tort.

    Does it work on EVERYTHING?

    That is so cool. We got to experience the unpacking with you. It is like Christmas came early. I wish I could have sat down and had a drink with you and seen that baby get played. How exciting. When I finally get a Sterling I will try to photograph the process too.

    DAMN Paul!

    That new bass is sweet!

    I like that abalone p/g on both basses, but I think it might look best on the MG. That other p/g is radical on the red Bongo too. I likey!

    Coming out to Willhoite's this weekend?
    Starting to think about returning to bass playing in the very near future.
