    You know how, when you're liking the tone of your bass so much that you screw up because you're listening and marveling instead of focusing on playing?

    It's like that.

    Bongos rule.

    So there.
    Hmmm...you are making me pine for my Bongo Mr. Douglas. I think my Bongo will arrive next week. Ordered December 12, 2009. The store thinks it is on a truck now on its way to Canada...can't wait!

    Sounds like somebody is trying to convince themselves that they really don't want a Big Al 5.
    I'm not falling for it...

    Yes, you are right - i should keep the Sterling for sure! You see, i didnīt even know before that my Sterling from 94 was special (string mutes + 3 EQ). I apologize in advance for posting a picture of a dirty/dusty MM .... i will clean it NOW.
    just reminding you. in case you forgot that you cant get another one that easy. GAS makes people forget that stuff sometimes

    Drummer and I where dialing in our new mixing board and had swapped places. We had just managed to get in the pocket together when I realized how good my 25th was sounding and promptly was thrown back out

    Trust me when I say.........don't ever sell any of your basses....it's a part of you and you will regret it........my first bass was a Sh#t sandwich but I wish I had it just because it was my first!
    and also why would you want to get rid of your Sterling......think it through

    Hey Jack that looks exactly like the direction I might be heading BUT I think I might prefer the Single H Big Al 5...I am curious how you would compare your SR5 20th and the 25th? I have a 20th on the way and I wonder if it is remotely close to the 25th since they both have the Tone Block and similar PUP placement....Thanks for anything you could share!

    Peace,
