3 Bands = 3 EBMMs

I played a gig Saturday afternoon at the Texas Motor Speedway campgrounds for a bunch of bicycle riders that were over nighting during a 150 mile bike ride benefitting MS.

The first band that played was a SRV tribute band called VooDoo Blue. I looked up and noticed that he was playing a white sparkle Sterling. I didn't get much of a chance to visit with the bass player because they were loading up and heading for a Cinco de Mayo gig on the other side of the Metroplex. But I did get to show him the DD so he could ooh and ahh over it.

We played next and of course I played my DD SR5 HS.

The last band to play (I didn't get to hear them because we had to get to another gig.) was an AC/DC tribute band called Back in Black. I have to admit that I never even saw the bass from the front but it was obviously an EBMM. 3+1 headstock. Looked like it was probably a Sterling.

That was a rockin' Saturday for EBMM basses at the TMS.

Very cool! As it turns out, I played for a similar event that same day. It was an MDA poker run held in my hometown (a lot of bikers...not bicycle bikers, either!). I brought the white SR5 for that gig. We had a good time!

Thanks for the comment Bill. I was beginnning to think that what happened wasn't all that unusual. First time I've ever seen it before and I liked it.

Of course, my bass sounded best as I'm sure yours did.

I saw a poster in a pizza shop on saturday night,its was for an old time big show band playing stuff from way way back like Glen Millar and stuff.

Tucked in the back of the line up (it was a 20 piece line up i think) was an SR5 !!!

he he I told you it was the best bass ever made!!!! it can play just about anything,anywhere in any situation!!!

I don't see very many SR4s, Sterlings, or Bongos in these parts, but the SR5 is immensely popular with local bands.

That's because SR5s are where it's at.

Can't argue with that! I still consider myself a 4-string player, but I've been playing the SR5 a lot. I love the way it feels!
