I stopped hanging here so much when I sold my HH Bongo fiver several months back, although I'vee been lurking on and off since then.
Given the events of late, though, I figured I'd stop by and say hi. A couple months ago, I ordered a HH Bongo 4 from VBTC (I might have been able to fend it off if I hadn't seen the pictures of that mahogany bodied Bongo from the open house). Then, a few weeks back, I picked up a great SR4 from 1after909, which is now my #1 bass and wearing a fresh set of Chromes.
Last night was the capper, though. Jack posted with the two remaining Buttercreme E's available. I had been looking for a SR5 for a few days, and thinking how cool and smooth the H-S PU configuration would be. What is one of the available LE's but a SR5 with the H-S configuration. Jack made me an offer I couldn't refuse and the bridge of death was crossed! I'd like to mention how awesome Steve and Jack have both been throughout the order process. Gold stars all around!
I've never had 2 new basses on order at the same time, but the waiting has been the most excellent and excruciating form of torture I've experienced. Luckily I have my 'Ray to keep me company in the meantime. She's a sweetie!
Anyway's, this all means you'll probably be seeing more of me around here. It's good to be back!
