Open letter of thanks to Big Poppa!

I just want to say thank you to Sterling and all of the dedicated people at Ernie Ball for making some of the best damn basses on the planet. Unlike others on this forum (who shall remain nameless), I was able to get the best bass sound I ever had as soon as I plugged in my first Ernie Ball Music Man bass in May of 2006. That natural, maple fretboard 4-stringer was my first, but far from my last Ernie Ball bass. In two short years, I have bought three more 4-string Stingrays, including my much-beloved 30th Anniversary beauty. After playing 4 string basses for 35 years, I also bought my first 5 string bass in 2006, a Stingray 5 H in white with a maple fretboard, and I loved the sound of the Stingray 5 so much I've bought 3 more of those, including a gorgeous 20th Anniversary rosewood fretboard single H and a single H Dargie Delight. I've got a honeyburst fretless Stingray 5 H with piezo on order right now, and when it arrives, I'll have gone from zero Ernie Ball basses to 9 Ernie Ball basses in a little over two years. I figure that buying your great instruments with my hard-earned money is the best compliment I can give you guys--plus I've got the best bass sound I've ever had! Keep up the good work!

PS: You know, I may need a Sterling and a Bongo someday . . .

If I had more money, it would ALL go on Music Man basses. Wait, it does already!

If I could somehow get more EBMM basses, I would. As it stands I'm pretty light in the wallet

Hmmmm .. the only problem with trying a Bongo next is that - hard to believe as it may currently sound to you - the 9 EBMM basses you've spent your hard-earned on and enjoy so much right now will very likely rarely get played anymore.

Edit: FYI, though my sig doesn't currently reflect it & I still love SR's, I've recently seen the Bongo light.

thank you...ratfart was just a difficult man. I really want him to play warwicks.

Robert? This is indeed good to hear.

I don't know if I've mentioned this or not, but I really, really like Bongos.

Before I forget - me, too.

Thanks, Biff. Not just for the basses, either.
