Bass Central Rules!

I lived in Central Florida for many years before I discovered the little slice of heaven known as "Bass Central" was only an hour's drive away!

I recall when I purchased my Sterling and was debating what color to get. I finally decided on the Trans Orange. From the other side of the room I hear "Great choice! Obviously you have fine taste in basses!"

...it was Dave LaRue. He even pulled his Sterling out of the case to show me the clear pickguard he had installed to show off even more of that sweet wood grain!

...So now I kind of look like him...if I could only PLAY like him!

Anyhoo, BC is a great store and Beaver, Dave, Grasshopper, et al are a great bunch of guys! Glad you could join us, Beaver! Welcome aboard!

Hey, I bought my first EBMM from Bass Central too.

That makes it...well, just about everybody.

Weird, huh?

 

[KennethB]

Threads like these makes me wish I lived in the U.S. The city I live in has three shops that sells basses and guitars. Total amount of EBMM basses: One SR 4-string. It's black.
I'm really glad I'm a member of this forum though. Because of it I've gotten a SR and a Silo from forum-members in less than a year.
Sorry for the hijack, guys.

Welcome, Beaver!! Your store looks great!!!

 

[Beaver Felton]

He went through a lot of basses after they got a deal. Most commonly seen playing a Vigier. I saw him live back in the 90s with Ellis, Beggs and Howard. He was using a Warwick Thumb 5. Very good bass player.

Yes, Nick's Beggs has been thru a bunch of basses and many were endorsement items. However, I've been in touch with him lately and he still favors and returns to the original SR4, same one he recorded those early hits with I suspect. I think he used it on their recent stuff....

As such, and given his ongoing visibility, I wish Sterling and the guys at EB/MM would consider him for an Artist/User deal.

Can you say, "Hint"? I just think he'd be a good representative of the line.

Later,
Beaver Felton

Hwey, Beaver Felton, you annoy my band members
Well, technically it's a thing I learnt from a superchops video, and it's not even taught
Sometimes Beaver does a little drum roll on the strings in between two parts of the video, and well that's the only thing from that video I have mastered properly
And it is not well liked by my fellow band members, not when performed on a Bongo anyway

Real cool to have you here, o maker of impossible videos

Thanx for the welcome, but please don't get fired for doing any of my "Stupid Bass Tricks" (humorous reference)!
For the record, I don't really mean to imply that they're stupid, since what you do with anything learned from myself can be used musically or not so musically, I guess, like most stuff.....

Keep working on the video and you can't help but extract some useful ideas and/or patterns.

*I’ll be converting all 7 “Superchops 4 Bass” video lessons to DVD this year. Maybe even add some new stuff, which I'll refer to as "Not-So-Stupid Bass Tricks"... …..

1/2 price for any MM Forum members.

Thanx,
BF

Hey, thanx AGAIN to Andrew, Fracture, Jack, Fred, Rulyongo, MRO, Dr. Nick, Kenneth, Big Poppa and all others for the comments, support, etc.

You're all invited to stop in when around Orlando. As stated, free lunch to all with the secret password phrase:
"I want to buy this MM Bass"!

Which proves the old adage:

"There ain't no such thing as a free lunch!"

 

[Big Poppa]

Beaver IF this guy is interested we have operators waiting for him around the clock!

Gear whores or guys who bounce around usually dont get the same deal as loyalists like Dave and Tony.

Short Story Maybe Not PG Rated....

Sterling,
Hello!
Yes, I'll hang around a bit from here out. Oh, I've got road stories, 'just not sure if they're appropriate for the forum. I'll try to come up with some that are.......

Beaver Felton

Although humorous, I'm not sure if all to follow are OK on the Forum, but for you guys who requested Road Stories:

Here's a quick "guide" to how we used to refer to various cities in FL:

Daytona=Playtona
Ft. Lauderdale=Ft. LauderTale
Tampa=Tampon.
Tarpon Springs=Tampon Springs.
Orlando=Whorelando
Deland=Deadland
Jacksonville=Jacksoffville.
St. Petersburg=St. Penisburg
Ft. Meyers=Ft. Liars
Panama City=Panties Off Ma City.
Clearwater Beach=Clearwater Bitch

And so on....

*I'll tell you about "3 Frank Crew" (derived from Rap Artists "2 Live Crew") another time....

I just bought the 20th SR5 HS maple fretboard non-painted headstock from you yesterday. Can I get a raincheck on the free lunch? We'll be bringing my son down to DisneyWorld in about 5 years.

 

[Beaver Felton]

I do understand and you're up way too early!

Beaver IF this guy is interested we have operators waiting for him around the clock!

S, thanx for the feedback. 'Totally Understood to all the above.
*I've been thru a zillion endorsements, know how they work, and always honored my end of the deal.

*I actually suggested this to Nick, who sent resume/credits to someone in the USA in charge of AR. I think he was directed to your UK distributor, but not sure if he got anywhere. Nick isn't hurting for basses or after freebies/great deals for the sake off it. However, he has mentioned that he always goes back to the SR4, hence my input.....He may or may not be into an exclusive thing, which is probably a requirement.....

YES, Free Lunch!

Absolutely! Whenever you visit!

*FTR, I was joking about the password phrase, of course.
No purchase required. I treat the entire staff to lunch every Friday (have done so for many years), and if an out of towner visits any day of the week, he receives the same offer from me!

Will be driving to Walt Disney in August for our Anniversary with the 3 horrors..I mean children.
I have talked the wife into detouring on the way back home to get another Bass for my anniversary.
I am in the mood for a Stringray 4, maybe even custom (will need to plan ahead for that one).

Nice...that might be the first one in the hands of a forumite.

You know the rule. Doesn't exist without pics.
