poppas monday pm

[Big Poppa]

Hey BP. I play bass in a local (columbia, SC) band. Im no luthier, and I dont really know anything about bass finishing. I am on the other hand saving up money (very slowly) for a sting ray. I was looking at a musicians friend mag. the other day trying to decide what finish I wanted on the sting ray I have been thinking about ordering. also trying to decide if I wanted to go with the 4 or 5 string model. I love the look of the 4, but love the options of the 5... anyways I thought about how cool the stingray 4 looks with a burst finish around the oval pick guard. Then I was thinking about what burst finish would be best suited for me. Then I thought, what if....? what if you guys could make a white burst finish that faded into black. I know you guys are not a custom bass manuf. and Im sorry if you read all of this only to think... wow, never gettin that 5 minutes I just wasted back. anyways a white burst finish, fading into black with a black pick guard. kind of an eclipse look. Maybe a L.E. stealth kinda package or somethin. So if you think this is lame, then sorry to waste your time, but I know I would buy it ;-) P.s. Maybe a black finished neck? (If I buy a ray, the first thing I wanna do is finish the neck.) hope to hear from ya thanks for your time.

Yeah, hate to say it BP, but people just don't learn.

I hate to say it because I know this is terribly annoying to you, but I wish you could leave it on just for the sheer entertainment factor that I get when you post these. Its a shame you cant have a pm address without people asking you dumba$$ questions all the time.

I only got one question for you BP.... Did your eyes and brain hurt as much as mine did after reading that ???????

 

[Randracula]

And his question couldn't just be posted in a thread beacause........? BP, If I were you i'd be pulling my hair out right now......if I had hair

I guess it's just something about "talking" to the owner of Music Man that convinces people to PM you, BP. I guess there's one good thing about not owning a company,

Hey to finish that eclipse thingy, I think a little orange to red transitioning to the black would be real cool............definitely LE potential.....

it really isn't that people don't learn, it is that a new one comes along.

 

[scottbass71]

I actually like the cut of his jib
But should have just put his idea out into cyberspace for people to comment on

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

This just makes me want to email you Sterling

Well, I know BP gets some annoying and sometimes crazy pm's, but lets not rush to judgment on this one. I think with a little refinement this would be a killer concept. How about instead of black to white burst you make it dark brown to white and get the Mallow Cup people on board....

I'll pm BP...

 

[scottbass71]

Maybe there should be a sticky

1. BP, Poppa, Biff, Big Cheese etc. is Sterling Ball - the owner of Ernie Ball Musicman
2. Don't PM ( personal message) him unless you wanna end up as BP PM of the week which involves being sent a 20 LB ball and chain to carry around and people laughing at you.

That's a better way to put it.

Wanna PM BigPoppa? Well, it really means "Public Message"

 

[koogie2k]

I think Big Poppa should leave it on...I mean, damn, read his signature! If you can't figure it out, then your PM deserves to be posted for all of us to see....LOL...

So, to save another thread, I will post the PM I was going to send him here:

"Big Poppa....could you possibly do me a huge favor and install a light switch on the next bongo I order so flames will shoot out the end....I mean, I want to one up Jack and all.....his are painted on. That would be soooo cool and then I would Rool and all the kids will want my autograph and stuff....I think you could do it, even though you are not a custom shop...what do you think?

Your friend,

Koogs

See how stupid that looks....
