    You all are a bad influence...

    So I have been psyched all weekend about getting my first EBMM.... and I am so grateful for all of your help, and hospitality for a newbie. I also can't help but feel extremely lucky.

    But I went and did a bad thing today..... in browsing around the internet...... I bought my SECOND EBMM as well.

    So I'll be sleeping in the barn tonight.... but oh what a sweet "doghouse" sleep it will be, all the while dreaming of the Bongo and the Stingray on their way to come live with me.

    For anyone who has spent time around kids recently.... is this like the grown up form of Pokemon? (You've got to get them all!). the scarry thing is I'm already thinking about #3, and #4.... don't have the money for them... but I still have a few extra internal organs to pawn.

    There really should be a support group for this.

    In all seriousness though. Thank you all. I always knew EB made great sounding and fantastic playing instruments, but the community and company have really blown me away. It made such an impression on me when Sterling (and everyone else) responded to my first post to offer their advice, that I am sold for life.

    Pictures to come next week, with a "Twist".

    trussrod adjustment:
    Click here for an image!
    less relief / flatter = lower action
    more relief / bow = higher action
    do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your pressious!
    also, if you are lucky enough to have a 100th namm sr4: the truss works the other way around on that one!

    Ah, the journey begins. Enjoy the road my friend. I have way too many as my wife tells me, but they all put a smile on my face.

    Welcome to the...oh what was it...we need you koog!

    twist hmmm, let me guess. I'm sensing 'fretless' and 'dargie' but I could be wrong.

    That's the very best kind of impulse purchase.

    You may have second thoughts, but in the end you'll NEVER EVER regret it.

    Good move!
