    the New Guy

    I did it. I bought (or rather traded for) a MusicMan and I'm finally joining the club. I recently moved back to civilization (give it up for TX!) and managed to get my hands on all of the different basses EBMM has to offer. I just loved the SR5! And I really don't even play 5 strings. This mid-90's honeyburst SR5 is coming next week.

    Man, that is a real peach. MusicMans are the best bolt-on neck basses you can buy, period. Enjoy!

    A kinder, gentler collection...

    Great SR5 you have gotten yourself. Enjoy it. Have fun here.

    Don't own up to owning a Ric or a Warwick.

    Just kidding.

    Seriously that has a white pup cover. Wow. You got a keeper.

    That is beautiful - consider getting a white pearloid or tort guard for that - would be even more stunning! Welcome

    LowMoJo, is it?

    You seem vaguely familiar!

    Nice score on the SR5. Love the honeyburst.

    And welcome to the forum. About time.

    Thanks for the welcome guys. Yes, the same LowMoJo. It's funny, I've been mainly playing Pbasses for a long time and had to overcome a false perception I had about MM tone. I lived in central Maine for years with nowhere to try out EBMM stuff so that didn't help. When I needed a deeper and tighter tone I turned to jazz basses, but of course that didn't work out. Better late than never, huh?

    BTW, I stopped and played a sunburst Ray after work that nearly had me picking up my second in 2 days. Played through a Markbass combo no less.

    PG - I agree, white pearloid will by my first change. I love honeyburst and pearl.


    - Jason
