It's coming.

I talked to my biological mother's fiancee, who is an EBMM dealer, about a bass, and he ordered 2. Gonna be about 3 months-which is fine. I'm a patient person.

Graphite pearl and Natural.

Both HH, both rosewood.

I get to choose which one I want, and he'll send it.

Anybody got any pics of those two colors?

like, for a desktop background?

Here is an SR5 in Graphite Pearl with Moonstone. I like the color well myself.

^^Liked the bass alot, but not so much the song. just taste stuff.

Maybe I'll get a tort and a clear!

that, plus whatever it comes with, would be enough variety for me.

Course, I love foreigner.

It'll likely be Readymade, BSSM, or maybe Aeroplane, PoT, Schism...hell I don't know. Maybe even the greatest song ever: Summer Romance by Incubus.

well, the best they've ever written. (with apologies to offended Ben Kenny fans)

I'll probably forget all about that particular moment when I plug it in, and end up playing my warmup scales....

the Pete song was nice, but that's not what I had in mind.

I thought about naming the bass after whatever song I play first, but then I remembered I had the perfect name: Plank. Affectionately, of course.
