Confirmation of the right choice

[Eggman]

Just got back from my second rehearsal where I played only my new Sterling HS. I knew I liked the sound - but about half way through rehearsal my drummer looked up and said "that could be the best sounding bass you have had". I have had a number of very nice basses recently and its nice to know that what I thought was a great choice - is being confirmed by what the other band members hear.

Thank you Ernie Ball-Musicman.

the HS Sterling is the best

IMHO

I've posted this before, but it's worth saying again.

My band is this yokel-heavy semi-twangy unit, heavy on the root-five and Johnny Cash stuff. My pal Brian yearns for me to play something a bit more traditional looking than the Bongo, so occasionally I try because I've known him forever and he's not just a band member, he's my best friend and I love him.

So I've used a Dirnt P, a F@nd@r 62 RI Jazz, a Fish 5, a L@kl@nd hollowbody, some other stuff I forget now....and they were/are very good basses. Nothing to be ashamed of at all.

But nothing sounds like a Music Man, and this band craves loud bass to keep the engines revved up. Every time I experiment, old traditional Brian says the same thing.

"Well....it's not a Bongo, is it?"

Nope.

Jack;

Take a piece of foam core and cut out a F*nd*r-shaped object.

Print out a life-sized picture of said F*nd*r in living color and paste it to the foamcore.

Cut holes for the pickup and bridge on your Bongo.

Mount it to the face of your Bongo (under the strings, duh) using the pickguard screws.

From 100 feet away you might actually fool an audience member. Guitarists will likely get fooled from only 20 feet.
