UPS left me a nice yellow note while I was at work today. Trying to resist breaking into the Manager's office to get my Bongo. Must... resist... :(

Then of course it will take mucho will power to resist... cranking... to... 11. Hmmm, I wonder how many complaints I'm allowed before I'm politely asked to leave by the sheriff.

Will post pics as soon as I can borrow a digital camera.

Don't even point at it!

For your reference enjoyment, regarding your new guitar...

[discussing Nigel's Guitar collection]

Nigel Tufnel: Look... still has the old tag on, never even played it.
Marty DiBergi: [points his finger] You've never played...?
Nigel Tufnel: Don't touch it!
Marty DiBergi: We'll I wasn't going to touch it, I was just pointing at it.
Nigel Tufnel: Well... don't point! It can't be played.
Marty DiBergi: Don't point, okay. Can I look at it?
Nigel Tufnel: No. no. That's it, you've seen enough of that one.


Enjoy this moment of anticipation. Becuase the minute you open that case, a new spasm of GAS will soon take place, and you will being thinking about something else that you desperately need and want. But I will say that after I got my stingray I feel pretty well set with guitars now and don't find myself reading Musician's Friend every night before I go to bed... I'm pretty well cured of my GAS right now.

My SR 5 cured my GAS for the moment but danged if all these bongo's popping up aren't making me feel like eating some beans and getting the GAS going again. LOL

If you're going to break into the manager's office to get your Bongo, I'm hurt you'd make us wait to see it until you borrow a camera. For Pete's sake, steal one, man!
Hey, maybe the manager has a digital camera in his office, too. Two birds with one stone :cool: .
 
Jolly good idea! :D

Sometimes I feel Einstein is still with us and visits a few good ideas upon us mere mortals. If I had thought of the fact that I could've gotten two for one I think it would have been worth trying. Oh well, I managed to wait until the office opened and fetched it. Been goofing around with it for a few hours now. Love it. The tone variations are awesome. All the way from a deep fat sound to the signature MM rumble to treble hell. Too scared to crank my new little Ampeg BA112 to see how it handles. Will post pictures as soon as I can.
