It's here!

[Angry Jonny]

I owe you all a follow-up on my post from a few weeks ago (http://www.ernieball.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13369) so here it is.

After writing that post I went out of town for the weekend. During my layover in Detroit on my way home, we gave GC a call and it had finally arrived on Friday! Fortunately for me, the flight home was only an hour and I was in the middle of a good book. On the way home, we swung by GC and picked it up.

The way life would have it, the last 2 weeks have been more than a little busy (I'm running sound for a musical that goes up tomorrow night so rehearsals have been running till after 10 and when one gets up at 6 for work, there's not much time left for anything else) and included another weekend away from home so I haven't been able to really play, but next week I hope to be spending some serious quality time getting to know all the ins and outs. In the mean time, I get to show it off and make it real!

No wonder you're so angry.

That is a good looking bass. You are going to be madly in love with that SR5. Enjoy it.

Great looking bass!

I am awestruck. A gorgeous bass. Keep and play her well.

 

[Scraggy]

Nice bass! I love this color/neck combination.

 

[Angry Jonny]

Thanks for all the great comments guys. I too fell in love with the color combination when I saw it and I'm very pleased with how it looks in real life. In the limited time I have been able to spend with it I can say that it hasn't disappointed in any way. I'm sure more time will only bring more happiness.

That BC Burst with the Maple fretboard is an awesome combo!

I'm feeling GASsy again...aw hell!

 

[UKFIN]

Its just makes my wait for the pacific blue burst all the longer

Congrats

 

[syciprider]

Hey! It's purdy. It's good to confirm that I did not make a mistake when I picked this exact same color/combo for my SR5 (ETA April 06. Can you hear me SLO?)

 

[EasyTiger]

Congrats man that's a a killer right there
It's all about the matching headstock

 

[Angry Jonny]

Ironically enough, the matching headstock was the one thing I was most worried about. I forgot that there were Black Cherry Burst and (non-black) Cherry Burst finishes when I ordered and accidentally ordered Cherry Burst initially. When I got home and realized my mistake, I called and had it changed and when my sales guy made the change he just added the matching headstock (no charge). Anyway, I didn't exactly ask for the matching headstock and I was worried that it might not work very well, but as it turns I'm glad I've got it because it definately adds to the overall look of my bass.
