An Important Birthday

[bovinehost]

Happy 7th Birthday to Heinz The Wonder Bass.

I think it's great that a few of you guys have actually played this long-suffering yet famous (infamous?) representative of one of the best basses ever built, the Stingray 5.

Heinz took a short vacation from me a while back but has thankfully returned, better than ever.

For those who don't know the sordid story: Heinz the Stingray 5

I'm in MS right now but can't wait to get home and give Heinz a little party.

[Psycho Ward]

Hell I'll drink a toast to Heinz... actually I've had several toast tonight, but the ones for Heinz were the best!!!

By God that's an amazing bass. I'm honored that you let me play such an instrument, Jack.

He's wishing his mom had bought him shorter pants. Actually, those are his mom's pants (I know this.)

YOu know they say that if you live with a bass long enough you start to resemble it....

Happy birthday, Heinz!

Now I'm going to PM Jack, although I know the answer too well...

Seven years old and still not potty trained yet, huh? I seem to remember a comparison made between the color and, well, nevermind.

 

[oddjob]

Never in my life thought I'd wish a bass Happy Birthday but if any of them deserve it, it would be Heinz!

BTW, Jack you get that pict I fired off?

True, after ten years my skin color is now a lovely teal.
Happy birthday, Heinz!

That story brought tears to my eyes; kind of like the Prodigal Son.

Happy Birthday, you whored-off-good-lookin'-chunk-o-wood!

Nice story mate, i'd never part with any of my basses or guitars even if i was desperate, f*** it. Id rather they take a leg, at least i can still play.
