I think you'll keep it, Arin. I also think you're going to be very surprised. As good as you think it's going to be?

It's better than that.

honestly... ive never gone into a purchase more blindly. i dunno how ill take to a 5 and how long that process of acclimation will take. im really excited cuz its gonna be a cool, new and fun challenge for me. and its gonna be great to have the best tool possible to hop to that new challenge

Took me like....10 minutes!;)

Arin, I was having the same thoughts myself.
I got the 20th plus a Dargie SR5 from Ritchie without really knowing if a SR5 would work for me.
Could I handle the bigger neck ?, the string spacing ? how about string-muting on a 5? etc.
I had a Fender 5-string many years ago and that bass did not work for me so there was times when I was thinking "What have I done?".:eek:
I was so happy when I played it for the first time and it immediately felt like home.:)
The same thing happened when I got the Silhouette guitar so I shouldn't be that suprised really...:eek:

It was an exciting time. I was so "high" on EBMM-love that when I got the Dargie two days later and was about to open the box it came in, I was in such a hurry that I cut my left index finger so I couldn't play for a week!:eek:

It was a gamble, but I lucked out. I'm now convinced that any EBMM will fit me like a glove.:D
I hope it will work out for you too.
I would also like to say that everything Jack has said about the 20th SR5 here (and other places) I'm in total agreement with!;)

That top is fantastic. Kind of has an Olive Ash thing going with that criss-cross flame.

Too cool, Arin!

(Now I want one.)

Arin that is a great bass and one any of us would want to have. It is yours party time.

Enjoy it.

That B string thing. The 5th is just one down from what ya know. It is amazing too.

Amazing looking bass! My favorite 20th to look at so far. I don't normally go for fancy tops, but that one just grabs me.

You know, I'm jealous of the specialized treatment you guys get with Mr. Pete DuBaldo. I'm stuck with "we'll call you when it comes in."

Pete, when the new models get announced, you may find yourself with a new customer!

Big +1 to that. I'm a first time customer of Pete's and he's helped me out alot. He's definately good people.
