Look what UPS just brought me.....

[Eggman]

Completed a trade with James Hill - my S*dowsky Metro MV4 (plus a few$) for these. What do you think?

I am happy, and I am sure James will be too.

 

[Aragorn35016]

Wow a twofer !!! Good going!! Very nice!

 

[lomky]

mmmm shiney!!!

 

[bovinehost]

If I were James, I'd be off in a corner somewhere, desperately trying to kick myself in the ass.

 

[koogie2k]

WOW...what a score. I will not post a comment about James....it would be too easy.

 

[James Hill]

I've tried the Sterling, Stingray, and Bongo. They all sound great, the Bongo being at the top as far as tone. I respect everyones love for the EBMM line and they are great basses, just not for me. Jack, I hope there aren't any hard feelings because I would like to continue doing buisness with you and Steve.

Go easy on him - he got a great bass in the trade.

And I now have more EBMM basses that I thought I ever would.

 

[Freddy-G.]

You came out on top with this deal. Congrats Eggman.

 

[soniq]

Heck of a deal! I think Eggy is on the winning side of that . Ah heck you both win!

 

[Eggman]

If you all saw my thread about how heavy I thought the Bongo 5 HS I had for a short time was - this Bongo 4 is at the other end of the scale. Very light - very comfortable. The SR will take a bit of time to get used to - very big body IMO.

 

[Eggman]

... Ah heck you both win!

+1

James will get his bass tomorrow and I am sure he will find what he is looking for.

Don't even think about it! A good customer is a good customer and I value our relationship.

I mean, you are of course completely out of your damned mind, but you're not alone.



You'll have to replace those someday.....I'll be right here!

For those who don't know me - I am firmly committed to the 'play what floats your boat' outlook.

Everybody's happy!

Jack

Heh--why would they have any hard feelings? They've already got your money, and I'm sure they'll be happy to take it again in the future.

Play what makes you happy. It's as simple as that.

Everybody's happy!

Except bassmonkeee who just wasted time writing the same damn thing only to be a minute later than the horse with the mouth (and the typing fingers).

 

[AnthonyD]

Nice score - you got the better end of this deal for sure!

 

[prickly_pete]

You made out like a BANDIT! Two EBs for a Warmoth... Sweet! That's a little joke, so please...

 

[rayzak]

Well, being the owner of an MV4 and a Stingray.... I'll say that James came out with a great bass too. That being said..... I'd have done that trade in a heartbeat Congrats to both of you

Yeah - I still have a UV-70 4 for those times when nothing other than a jazz bass will do!!

Balls for the rest of the time!!!!

One from each coast Cool. Funny, I just recieved my VTC "upgrade" in the mail today. I'll honestly probably never get rid of it because it's such a different flavor from the 'Ray. But for the first time in a long time, i'm completely content with all of my basses(I have a MIM F*nd*r P too).

 

[Eggman]

I have put a bit of playing time into these beauts and here is my take:

1. I am surprised by the Bongo. Light weight and a ton of tone. Very easy to play - even though I prefer a jazz size neck like the Sterling. Very unique look and that may take some getting used to - but I bet it will look cool on stage.

BTW - my band, Dogs In The Yard (www.dogsintheyard.com) will be at The Toad Tavern (www.toadtavern.com) in Littleton CO 9/9/06 - 8-10pm.

2. SR-30th - WOW nice bass - absolutely gorgeous. The birdseye neck is killer. Lightweight - this is the 9.2 pounder from Steve. Very comfortable. Very similar tone to the Bongo - I think I prefer the Bongo tone. The case is great - but very heavy. Not sure this one will remain in my possession. I will think about it for a while.
