I have sitonmybass syndrome

[syciprider]

Looks like Tabacca is ahead.

There are two major (to me) things that are making me hesitate.

a) The poly neck. IMO NOTHING feels like a waxed MM neck that has been played to the point where the wood grain is filled in with uhh.. mojo. I'm not really that concerned about it because EBMM won't make it if it ain't good (the Bongo has a very fast yet finished neck after all) but still it's a point of consideration.

b) The published weight. I have some old battle wounds from my bicycle racing days that left me with weak shoulders (Damn I can only do 50 diamond push ups now). 11 pounds of admittedly beautiful Stingray 5 sounds... skeery.

Ah, this is such a sweet predicament to be in though!

Nothing like that "just brushed" minty taste.

taste of cinamon as in coral.

A mint should be used to get the taste of tobacco out of your mouth!

I would be honored (although in a slightly uncomfortable way) if wanting a new EBMM bass can now and forever be referred to as having "sitonmybass syndrome."

You missed it...

sitonmybass syndrome - blatantly advertising on the forum your indecision over the potential selection process of a new bass for the purpose of shamelessly soliciting the opinions of forumites to draw superficial attention to the possibility that you might think about ordering a new bass that you could buy if Mrs. Sitonmybass will allow you to once you've saved up the money after you've bought a new house, at which time you and Mrs. will host a tea party for and share a three-way with the new bass during its unveiling at your current residence where all your other basses are that you and Mrs. Sitonmybass tirelessly grope and fondle.

If it was up to me, and its not, although I wish it was, for myself.... T-Burst !!!!!

 

[kylierider]

Look at the neck on the tobacco 5. It's Incredible!!

You can't go wrong there.

Sure, but I'll have mine to go!

Love you guys!

Oh what would I not give if I can get THAT very bass with THAT neck. I don't think it's for sale though

 

[MrMusashi]

never say never.. they sold a few of the ones with matching headstocks before christmas so a "dear sirs" letter with a cpl of benjamins included to the correct person over at eb might help ya out

SR5 Classic, maple fb with birdseye

in:

Coral, Tobackee or Mint

Mrs Syciprider isn't into solid pastels nor traditional finishes so she's of no help whatsoever.

The Mint looks awesome with the maple fb.

You should add a poll!

 

[Steamthief]

Tobacco with the birdseye neck is stunning, the others don't move me. Maybe I just don't dig the white pickup covers, though.

Oh, I get it now!

 

[MusicMan4Life38]

I would go for the Mint with the birds eye board. That would look awesome.

Haha. I don't think so. That will be backdooring the dealers.
