OK - this in a bit lame but anyone else lose track of how many balls they have?

The other day a friend was over and we started counting. turned around, doing a 360, and at every 90 degree turn there were a couple more either chillin on a rack or hanging on the wall... then i realized i have 2 more at work. oh ya, and a silo coming in tomorrow and a 20th SR5 in about a week.

this is in no way a complaint and im always thankful for being able to "be here". but i cant help but have flashback backs to when i was a kid staring at bass magazines and hoping to someday have just 1. i had no idea it would ever be this way...

i really love these instruments. they've been great to me. because of MM im constantly motivated to play. there's nothing worse than starting a practice session only to quit 10 minutes in due to frustration caused by an instrument's lack of quality & playability. the MMs are rad and always welcoming to play and sound awesome. my previous stuff wasnt so rad.

and besides the basses - the guitars are awesome. id hadnt played guitar for abut 4 years untill i gt my first MM axe (a jp6). since then ive been playing guitar a lot and even tho im still a hack im definately getting better

anywho... im just saying thanks cuz i was just playing a sterling after a super tiring day at work and it was a great pleasure.

Well my wife tells me I'm at 196 Ernie Ball Music Mans but she counts and I don't really care, If they're light and Ernie Ball I buy em, I am getting more selective these days only due too the room, I'm running out, and I can't keep changing houses due to Ernie Ball, lol.

Four Balls here. I'm waiting on a bunch of Hercules autograb wall hangers I've ordered, so will be putting my Balls on the wall soon enough, in the house we've just bought.

I've only got the three Bongos at the moment. Future purchases are on hold.

There will be at least one more Bongo added to the mix in the future once the six strings are available. And, probably a four string, too.

I only have one Ball...but then again, that's all I really need! (Not that I don't envy those of you with a bevy of them!)

Lately I've been increasing my collection of six-string piccolo basses...I can't seem to find one that fills all my needs as the Sterling does as a bass...Single-coil vs. HBs...Bolt-on vs. Set neck...it never ends!:rolleyes:

her birthday is coming up at the 9th next month, and she suggested id be extravagant with her present this year.. :D
saying i skipped the macbook for the bongo instead didnt help.. pfff.. if the truth aint good enough.. ghehhee

oh well.. three balls so far.. 2 in the obvious places, the bongo on the wallhanger.
the 30th is parked at beavers and the 20th prolly is somewhere on the atlantic makin its way over here.. cant wait to see if it will be a flame or quilt.. heh.. might get lucky too and get one of the "leftover" bfr tops.. i hope it sucks in proper ball fashion :D
