Dibs...

historically im not the best person to call dibs on. i think this is my 17th MM and i have kept all but 2 so far.

also i think stanky technically called dibs like 2 weeks ago over the phone.

either way, im gonna be keepin this quite a while

 

[Dr Stankface]

Yes sir. I have DIBS!!!

But I hope you keep it Arin. You've finally manned up to the 5 string world. God bless you.

 

[bovinehost]

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

woot

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?".
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...

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!

It was a gamble, but I lucked out. I'm now convinced that any EBMM will fit me like a glove.
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!

 

[Caca de Kick]

Woot! that sure is a purdy bass!

 

[Oldtoe]

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

Too cool, Arin!

(Now I want one.)

 

[tkarter]

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.

Enjoy

NOW?

I've made Arin, if he isn't completely happy, a deal he cannot refuse.

Heh heh.

Jack

 

[Psycho Ward]

I've been up fro almost 50 hours and that top makes me want to stay up for another 50, Damn fine looking bass Phatty, congrats!

 

[sloshep]

Excellent choice, love the flame.

 

[saxnbass]

That top is sweet!

 

[phatduckk]

this bad boy arrives monday

just popping in to sneak a looksee at it

woot!

 

[Kristopher]

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!
