She just bought me this for our 5th wedding anniversary:



It's a Dean Model EAB acoustic bass, the same one I was eyeing at this store up on Clement Street.

Of course, I did order something shiny and purty (and expensive!) for her from Wyrding Studios. :)


Loves ya, sweetie!! :D

I have one of those!!! I love it! You get to be all Brian Ritchie with that thing! Seriously it is the BIG WOOD as Joe Strummer would say. I love mine. In fact, I did a couple songs with it. None that are serviceable at the moment but when they are I shall post examples.

Enjoy it!

Yeah, we looked at it a few weeks ago and I totally fell in love with it. Very nice sound and feels good playing it!

Actually, first song I did with it start-to-finish was Silversun Pickups' "Panic Switch"--the bass line that kicked my ass last year--and realized two things: 1) they either tuned it up a half-note or used a capo, because it's actually in F, and 2) I am SO out of practice. OW.

I will definitely enjoy it...I have it on a guitar stand here in Spare Oom so I can grab it when need be! :)

Is it a smallmouth or largemouth bass? :)

Isn't it though? And thanks! :)

Yeah, after I posted that, I pulled out a bunch of late 80s 'college rock' mp3s and played along with them, just like I did when I got my first one way back in the day. Now I want to rerecord all the Flying Bohemians stuff with this thing. Is that bad? :p

I'm not going to fall for a line like that. ;)

It sounded too fishy?
