What EBMM is on the radar for you right now?

Me: I'm GASsing for a 1H fretless in a TB or VB with matching HS so I can ditch the Yammy and have an all SR harem.

I'm totally in love with these two 30th Rays that came in today. At first I was only going to buy one to stick under the bed with the crunchy Kleenex but now after having one in my hands and playing both Brad & Todd's a little bit tonight through the fliptop I'm totally in love with these basses...so now I gotta buy two for myself...a Crunchy Kleenex one for investment and a player.

Jack's also got me kinda tweaked on on getting a Sterling after the way he's been gushing on about that blue sparkle he got in so I'm thinking about a Sterling HS.

Then I also want a blank plank Medallion Gold Bongo H-P like the one I had through for John Wothington last month.

Once I'm back in civilisation sometime in the next couple of years I'll be in the market for a HH SR4. I've only bought one bass in the past year, which is a worry.

What's next? Well, I don't know yet...I have two HH bongos, and I ordered up the LE Bongo with single H.....

I have to play it to see if that is what I like....I am just a huge fan of the Stealth (must be sentimental reasons of jobs past...LOL) as it is my favorite right now....

The LE with the shiney black color and gold hardware just looks so cool.....I took the plunge at BP's suggestion and went single H.......

So, what's next? You tell me.....and I'll go from there...:cool:

This is probably the best picture I've ever seen of Steve Barr. No alcohol, no cornrows, no bass-licking. Just a man and his bass. Sweet.

Hard to say. Ive actually numbed myself out of bass GAS for the time being. I like my two ebmms and cant see myself needing another in the immediate future. Normally Id say a fretless, But ive come to the conclusion that I will never be a fretless player; just not my tone.

So It is tough to say. Depending on what the sterling 5's are like, that may be it. More trouble arises there because I still cant decide whether I am going to be a 4 player or a 5 player. Im not sure I see myself needing more than one 5er. I dont see myself needing more than one 4 either. Just the way I am.

I also think I may only buy ebmms from the 90's now, with birdseye necks. To me, my sterling is 200% nicer because of the neck. I miss it on the new ones.
