Happy Birthday...

[cdb]

To my SR5... my lovely black cherry burst with the maple board celebrated her first birthday yesterday... and dammit, I gotta say, i love her.

But last nite at practice I just felt like something special happened... she's more broken in, she felt more comfortable than ever. Maybe something happens to the wood or the pup after a year of playing, or maybe I just imagined it, but she sounded and felt like a part of me, and I didn't want rehearsal to end.

Congrats and I'll have a beer in her honor, I know it's early for beer, but this is special!

I wish I could be as daring as Chuck but I hate beer and it's too early for alcohol so i'll have a glass of milk in her honor.

SR5s are great aren't they?

Happy Birthday Derek!

Derek was the first EBMM employee that I met. He was manning the booth at the Dallas Guitar Show when I met him. I bleeb that was in 2004.

I do not know Derek, but have a very happy birthday!

And thank you all for the birthday wishes for my lovely SR5. I will convey them to the 'Ray in a way that only basses understand- slapping and fingering after having a beer (or 2)

Did you buy it something nice?

I bought one of my basses a strap for its birthday, but it said it wasn't into kinky stuff. Then I reminded it who owns it and showed it the "picture", after that it was happy to wear it...

You can get that stuff at almost any gun shop.

I went to the local guns & ammo last nite, actually, and they had tru-oil, but no wax...

Thank you. That is truly a beautiful bass. Happy birthday!!
