Congrats and Happy Birthday!
That bass is stunning. And a proto to boot! This has got to be the coolest MB on the net. We'll need some sound clips....

I really don't know what to say here besides "I'm really f***in stoked". This is awesome!
So, I turned 30 yesterday. The big 3-0. So far it's been awesome! Things are really on to a great start.
The last couple months I've been really down. I've had a variety of drama's/crisis pop up the last 6 months and it's all been a lot to deal with: family health stuff, job/financial stuff etc. Kinda sucked... that explains why Ive been a bit MIA till recently.
Anyways - over the course of the last week things have all worked out: sister's health stuff came back "all good", random legal stuff just poof and went away and I got a new job
And today my dad calls me from across the yard and says "hey, FedEx is here with a package". I had no idea what it could be... none. So i ask where and he points at a box in the dining room with a familiar shape.... and it's from SLO
(i started opening the box way to quickly for my girlfriend to snap a closed box shot)
My jaw dropped!!!
I pop the case out of the box and stare at it for a little bit.
I was pretty giddy
So pop the case open and what do we have....
it's something we've all seen and drewled over in a torture thread by Dargin a couple months back
holy sh** its a BFR Sterling. I couldn't believe it! It's gorgeous. The top is pretty much a museum piece on this one. 100% perfect and awesome. fresh strings, plays great out of the box... and that green kills!!! everyone went nuts over the color
Now its time to give it a whirl
This thing sounds huge. its really something! ya - its great. no BS it sounds badass!
OK here's a really horrid picture of my Sterling family:
Now some better pics:
After giving it a quick whirl and taking some pics I gave Sterling a call to thank him. We had a great chat for a lil while and I thanked him about 87 times
Also gave Aziah a call b/c my girlfriend told me her and AJ were also in on it...as wel as Dargin.
So anyways. I'm really stoked and wanted to thank all the folks at EBMM (especially Pops) & my girlfriend for putting together this rediculously awesome surprise for my 30th.
THANKS 12 million
WOW, That's unbelievable. Ernie Ball is Killing me, I'm trying to slow down here Ladies & Gentleman.
