    2000 for Figgy

    2000 posts. Break out the party hats. I was neck and neck with mr stanky for a while but after school ended, lets just say hes been here quite a bit And hes pulled ahead quite considerably to create a gap that probably will remain unclosed.

    So at this time I'll take a moment to see where my bass life is currently. I have 2 amazing EBMMs, my sterling and my HH sr5. The sterling is my main bass because I am most comfortable on 4 strings and the neck (especially with the birdseye) is to die for. But I wouldnt give up my HH SR5 for the world, its just too great. Some 4 string bongo HP (black/black) GAS has found me, and I am bewildered to say the least. Usually not a bongo person, but I think that configuration could work for me. We'll see where my head is at when it comes time to maybe think about getting a bass for graduating at the end of this school year.


    Anyway, back on topic. W00t.

    Congrats on 2K Figgy!

    (sigh) I remember 2K as if it were yesterday.
    Starting to think about returning to bass playing in the very near future.

    It's called "college tuition" Can do wonders for your social life. Especially coupled with copious but responsible quantities of beer.
