She's here!!!! SR5 in the house!

[grumpyoldman]

Hello all!

I am a Canucklehead, and have been a fan and user of EBMM guitars (4 Axis, 2 ALs) for the last couple of years, and some of you may even have seen some of my posts on the skinny-string side. Over the past couple of months, I have left my position of guitarist in a band, and taken a bass gig with a new bunch of guys...I had held down the bottom end in that other band for a few years prior to me taking the guitar gig, and I welcome the challenge again. To be properly equipped though, I obviously needed an EBMM bass. Well, today she arrived!

I am the lucky owner of a 2004 Lava Pearl SR5 formerly belonging to fellow forumite Brooklynfall - and the instrument is immaculate!

I will post my own pics as soon as I finish posting....and can find my digital camera....and can put the bass down....which may be a while.

I hope you are more patient on this side than the guitar side...........

More to come.....

Awesome basses!!!!


John, what are you using to amplify that baby???

 

[grumpyoldman]

At the moment I am using an SWR Workingman 4004 through two cabs (a 4X10 and a 1X18) made by a now apparently defunct Canadian manufacturer, Punch Audio. My penchant for Line6 equipment has led me to acquire a Bass PODxt Pro, and now I am looking for a power amp to place between the Pod and the cabs....

If you've got no snow in Sarnia yet, then you've still got time to rake up all those leaves.

We got dumped on today. The 400 was a mess.

That's a beaut.

I'd love a SR5, but my OLP Tony Levin will have to do for now.
