Hey there Ernie Ball Forum!! I am Mrs.Brokenvail and need some advice from the experts. I am going to buy my husband an Ernie Ball Music Man as a gift. We have been married going on three years. We don't have any children, but I am looking to bring home a "New Baby" for him to play with. :) I have been doing some homework and have been eyeing the Silhouette Special HSS with Piezo. What I am looking for is pictures...LOTS and LOTS OF PICTURES so I can get a feel for what kind of color/picguard combination I want to order. I am trying to stray away from black as I want to expand my color pallet. I love my Brokenvail and really want to see him happy:eek:... Thanks in advance for your help...:D

Welcome Mrs. Brokenvail,

welcome amongst us knuckleheads ;)

Well, err... Here are some photos of them fine Silo SPecials, but I'm afraid the finishes and some of the pickguard colors might not be around anymore these days...

Here's a link to the product site http://www.music-man.com/instruments/silhouette_special.php, but somehow I didn't find the instrument builder where you can checkout the finished and pickguards together. Can someone chime in here ?!?

Nevertheless - youll find HIM a matching Silo, that's for sure.

...he's so lucky to have YOU !

Cheers

Axel

Mrs. Brokenvail,

That is a huge request from where i sit. I have 3476 Silhouette pictures!
Could you possibly rule out certain colours or tell me some preferences???

something conservative? something flashy?

Why not bust out your favorites. Be a salesman. Show this nice lady a little something something.

I know these aren't "specials" but hopefully this helps.

OMG!!! That Burgundy Ball is impressive. Beautifully matched PG!!! What is the name of the Burgundy Ball?

MS Vail What a fabulous Babe! I mean that in a true knucklehead respectful manner. STick around....(I guess that this isnt a secret)

Thank you for the compliment!!! A woman who can buy a Ball for the man she loves is a woman worth keeping around!!

Hello Mrs. Otto, and welcome to the forum! :D

I have a feeling you and I will be socializing quite a bit as you are the person that my husband has inconspicuously implied I must talk "Ball Business" with...

Hey Axel, That red Ball is quite the looker...

Big Poppa... I am honored by your compliment!! Thanks for the warm welcome. Any woman who can buy a Ball for the man she loves is a woman worth keeping around!!


TNT...Twins are always a welcome addition...who knows, I might be incline to get the hubby a Ball and an ASS...

Hey Pete!! I have a feeling you and I will be socializing quite a bit as you are the person that my husband has inconspicuously implied I must talk "Ball Business" with...

Mr. Fogman, To answer your question, the hubby is the conservative one, so to balance things, I would love to get him something flashy!!! I wear alot of black (of which he is trying to get me to step out of), I would like to dabble in some rich, bold colors...I wouldn't mind getting my hubby a Ball that he looks at rather LUSTFULLY

:D I am getting excited just thinking about it...Thanks ALL!!! :D

Welcome to the forum! There is nothing like your woman giving you a Ball.

Bold colors are great but a woman in all black can certainly be a lustful sight!

Mr. Pete is definitely the man to do some Ball business with. He is quite experienced at helping women with Ball decisions.

I can already see the power of Big Poppa's chick magnetism working it's magic on you and you just got here. It's a situation all of us with a woman music accept.

Again, welcome to the party!
