So about a month ago, I overheard a friend of mine talking about getting a new bass. My ears perked up, and at the time he was planning on getting a G&L. Perfectly fine basses but that's not the point. So I asked him why he was getting a G&L and if he had ever tried a StingRay. He said that he liked how they played but that the sound was too "limited". To this I chimed, "Man, you gotta try a dual pickup Ray or Sterling!." and went on about how the versatility is in your hands, not in what you play...blah blah. So I see him last night at a friend's place, and what do you know....He put in an order for a Honeyburst HH SR4. Made me so dang proud.:cool: :D

I'll mention something to him about the forum, although I'm afraid some folks just wouldn't "get" it. In fact, I might be doing him a favor by not telling him about this place. He'll waste way too much time talking about sparkles and GASing for another.:p

Did someone mention sparkles? ;-) My kids were helping me at Guitar Center yesterday...We did an in-store for School of Rock, and my daughter had her autumnburst sparkle SR4 with her. The jaws were dropping left and right. My girl was so proud she had a bass that everyone wanted.
