Finish problem on Stingray

[bassmonkeee]

"It's a jump to conclusions mat. It's a mat that has a bunch of conclusions on it and ...you jump to them."

"Tom, that has got to be the stupidest Idea I've ever heard"

"Yes, Tom, It's HORRIBLE"


Rooster- Sorry for jumping to conclusions.

Bassmonkee-So do I have to say sorry to you too? Well then, Sorry for being accusatory.

BP- Thanks for the laughs.

PLAY BALL! or *DING* FIGHT!!!

Andrew

No need to apologize to me. I just wanted to point out, with examples, how someone could have been put off by the response.

It's all good--I'm sure your response was just posted quickly so you could get back to playing your new fretless Bongo.

 

[SteveB]

We could settle this at the open house.........Ill bring the gloves.

hey I didn't read your statement as harsh but youve apologized and been chastised. Now you must be punished and be forced to play Bad Bad Leroy Brown 100 times. Then drop and give me twenty Proud Mary's

BP

I think it would be worse to have to LISTEN to Bad Bad Leroy Brown 100 times!

Andrew, nice Office Space reference. Now we need you to move your desk to the basement...

Damn straight my friend! Damn straight!



I can't belive how good this baby plays.

I can't belive how good this baby plays.

Andrew

Heh--I can.

 

[AnthonyD]

I can't belive how good this baby plays.

Heh--I can.

And I can only imagine... For now...



Funny - I sensed the "harshness" in the original response, then again in the follow-up... Thought, "Oh well, that's Mingus"...

 

[Mobay45]

Hey Andrew, apologize to me too! I feel left out.

 

[Big Poppa]

how come nobody helped me out with the proud mary?

 

[roballanson]

Sorry about that BP will get out the cocktail bible tonight and do my homework before opening my mouth again....thats if I can put the bass down, am trying to learn Teen Town......hard when you cannot read music.

 

[SteveB]

Okay, Let's say that a "proud mary" is a martini that is shaken, but in a very special way.. the shaker is placed on Tina Turner's buttocks circa 1971 while she's dancing and performing to the song of the same name.

 

[roballanson]

WOW You Americans certainly know how to make an interesting cocktail.

Mind you a pint of Norfolk ale served by a buxom country wench is just as amusing

 

[SteveB]

You've obviously never seen Tina dancing to that song... You'd forget all about the beverage.

 

[roballanson]

Forget about alcohol......shurely shum mishtake......

 

[Mobay45]

BP, you just named a cocktail that I've never heard of and that's a pretty big feat. I will certainly have to try a Proud Mary.

A cocktail that I really like that's made with whiskey is Lynchburg Lemonade. Especially since I am a "Tenessee Squire". (I even have the framed certificate from Jack Daniels to prove it!)

When we were in Jamaica a couple of weeks ago, I showed the bartender how to make one. Shortly afterwards, the resort manager showed up with one in his hand. He liked it but he said that although you don't taste the Jack Daniels a lot, you sure do feel it.

Thanks for the tip!

Lynchburg Lemonade??=

wow sounds lovely.

 

[Big Poppa]

The Cocktail was a joke in response to my incredulousness at the fact that none of you have had to play the song Proud Mary for drunk people. If bovine was here he would have helped. THere is no cocktail named proud mary. How disgusting would bourbon and
spicy horshradishy tomato sauce taste?

 

[AnthonyD]

I'll admit it - missed that one completely!

Though I did start googling and found this.

Hey, I've had to play Proud Mary to a room full of drunks. And, I'm not mistaken, I think we took a $20 bribe/tip from a guy so we'd let him play a harmonica solo.

It did sound nasty so I guess you didn't pull one over on me! Sorry I missed the joke. The only cover bands I've played in were country bands back in the '80s. Lots of drunks. Proud Mary was not the song they requested though.

For inquiring minds a Lynchburg Lemonade is a shot of Jack Daniels, a shot of Triple Sec, a shot of sweet and sour mix, and top it off with Sprite. Shake with ice, pour and enjoy.

BTW - Around here we call light beers "Sex on the Beach".

 

[dlloyd]

Does this count?

edit:

I don't think so... it appears to be a cheats way to a bloody mary.

 

[Rooster]

My SR5 is a very pretty transgold with matching headstock, RW fretboard and black pup/pickguard. Very classy looking.

The issue is that what appeared to be a slight faded finish spot on the body(in the crook between the neck and lower horn), was actually a finish defect and that spot is now bare wood since the finish has apparently flaked off in that spot.

Its the size of a nickel and is not immediately noticeable to casual observers due to the light color. But I know its there and if I were to ever put it up for sale, it would certainly affect value.

How can it be fixed? Does EBMM customer service have any known issues of that? Would it be important to them? I am the original owner and the bass is about three years old.

I'm going to revisit this thread again just to let you folks know that I'm not used to the kind of service that was afforded me by Dave and Scott. FWIW, I'll say here that I've been playing my much loved SR5 again, but minus the afore mentioned blemish. Thanks Dave and Scott! You guys are the best.
