My first EBMM

**Evolver** · 03-04-2007, 09:51 PM

This is my first EBMM. I've been trying every bass I could find and was overwhelmed with the tone and quality of this bass. The information in this forum was very helpful so my thanks to all! First gig (classic rock/country band) with it was last night - and wow - lost track of the number of compliments on the bass and tone. Actually had three different bass players in the audience that came up during breaks to try it!

wow... a brand new 30th, first gig, and you let other bass players touch it? that's like going on a first date and letting your friends put their hands all over your girl.

well... maybe not exactly.

you're a brave man! congrats on the 30th!

In reflection, it kind of felt like that at the time...:

Man, what a way to jump in! Those anni.'s are gonna be timeless.

Too cool....

The 30th's and DD's are running neck-and-neck on my GAS list!

Nice Bass, 'volver!

Nice Bass. I'm going to have to get one of those things

**PocketGroove82** · 03-05-2007, 06:01 AM

very nice.
never get rid of that one.

**kylierider** · 03-05-2007, 09:51 AM

My first SR was a 30th also. Except mine is a fretless. I can't say enought good things about this bass. Now I'm seriously spoiled.

That's beautiful!

I also recently got my first MM, a Stingray 5 HH, and love it as well. I bought it used as kind of an experiment and while it was in immaculate shape and really well made, I was kind of surprised at first because I wasn't totally sold on the sound. But after finally playing it in a band situation I found out that's where it seems to excel. It really worked well and I had no trouble getting sounds I needed from it or being heard over drums and a loud guitar.

I'll have to take some pictures and post them later. It's a vintage sunburst with matching headstock and a tort pick guard. It's gorgeous!

EDIT - I did find a picture on my PC at work that the original owner took before I bought it. it's not a great shot, but it isn't bad.
