    New Bass Day.....

    Click image for larger version.  Name: mm.jpg  Views: 206  Size: 47.5 KB  ID: 23698

    Well Guys, I've been banging on about my old Musicman from the "Glory Days" ever since I joined this Forum and, after my recent separation from my wife of 18 years and subsequent sale of my "Little Piece of Tasmania" I decided that it was time for some good to come of it all and it was also time to stop settling for second best.

    So, Gentlemen, without further ado, I give you, my Brand New MIA Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray 5HH.

    One of my blues jam mates has one of these it's very nice to play and has a great tonal palate.

    Great score Hobie

    Last Thursday Night I got to try out my new Beastie, and it did not disappoint.
    However, in an attempt to make sure I wasn't too loud, I turned my Quad Box down and relied mostly on my 2x10 Top Box. Unfortunately it wasn't quite up to the task and developed a bit of fuzz towards the middle of the second set. (it is 20 years old....) So now I'm on the hunt for a replacement. A nice new Lightweight Boogie 2x10 was my first thought, then for a similar price a Mesa Powerhouse 4x10 raised its head.....

    "Hmmmm" I thought to myself until I saw that for not much more money I could get a 6x10 and would not need a top box.
    Then I thought , " While I'm at it, I might as well get myself a nice shiny new Boogie Subway D800+ to run it".....

    Well, since I was forced to sell my house after the breakdown of my marriage and I might even get a little bit of the proceeds, I think I deserve a treat......

    New Amp Day is Rapidly approaching.......

    Watch this space.
