N(B)BD - New Birthday Bass Day

[LowB_FTW]

Oohh, what's this then?

 

 

But I can't have it until Monday (my birthday) as it's a present from The Wife, so if I can't have it until then, you can't be knowing what it is either. 😂

This is the teaser for the main reveal next week.

A vacuum cleaner! 🤔

[ezbass]

Given the size and shape of the box, you have a new ironing board.

Can we at least have clues? More than "It is definitely not an electrical household appliance" 😁

There,s actually a big clue hiding in plain sight in my post above, but not long to go now before I reveal all.

So it's a Sandberg 48 then?

Kala Ubass with a LOT of packing.

Is it Billy Sheehan related, as per the highlighted possible clue? 

[Hellzero]

Got it, found the clue...

 

48 fragile firewood logs in 39 centimeters length!

 

[itu]

But "Log" was Les Paul's g-word, not a bass?

[Hellzero]

But, if I look a bit further, I can see fretless instruments, my wife being the nickname of Pino Palladino's fretless Stingray, my guess would be an old fretless Stingray, maybe the one that sold recently at Bassbros...

Whilst that would indeed be a lovely instrument for someone on here to have bought, it's 4 strings, so not only would I not be getting it, but I suspect I'd need to have remortgaged the house if that was what I'd bought - hint, I did not remortgage the house for the purchase I made. 😂

The Wife is treating me well today making me birthday pancakes for breakfast, but we aren't here for such frippery 😂

We are here for Bass!

 

Some quick iPhone snaps I took the day the bass arrived, better photos will be taken and posted soon.
I have a new set of strings waiting to be put on and I got some strap locks for it too.

I'll definitely be replacing the cloverleaf tuners.

 

 

 

 

 

Purchased from the Marketplace here (for sale thread).

Nice. However, the big clue, whatever it was, was way over my head, I still can’t see it.

[Hellzero]

Maybe Blue Monday from New Order and Peter Hook, so a Yamaha with a P-Bass pickup... @ezbass 

 

Otherwise I can't see the clue too. 🤔

[LowB_FTW]

The clue : N(B)BD

Granted, it was subtle - and completely unintentional - but it had BB right there in the subject. 😂

Enjoy your new bass, and the rest of your birthday.
