Musicman Demo in GLASGOW!

[starsky]

Sounds like you were there around the same time as me Komp!

It wasn't my Bongo, you should've asked for a go

*knock knock*..... Can I come in? I'm just newly registered after months of lurkin' as a guest!

Strange place to do my intro perhaps, but I was amongst the keen Musicman faithful on Saturday.

What a day! Never a more enjoyable day in a music store have I had, and it'll take some beating. I had a fantastic time chatting to Paul and the head sales Guru who travelled with him (fantastic bloke, but never caught his name ).

As far as EBMM axe's go, I'm a Sub 1 owner of just four weeks now. Had my eye on them for over a year, and watched them go for good money on the 'bay. Thankfully managed to grab a damn fine Single HB/Hardtail number in black last month in the Glasgow store. What an axe! What a deal! What a shame i'm pants!

So, on to Saturday.... as a massive JP fan, i was thrilled to noodle around unplugged with the BFR JP. Stunning guitar, and in the circumstances was happier to hand it over to the incredibly capable Paul for a full-tilt demo. What can I say; I could soooo see how that guitar is a honestly viable workhorse, even at the price where some may limit their use as an investment.

We had a flawless [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPGA3vjMLgE"]YouTube - Paul Gilbert - Scarified[/ame] run through on Paul's own Steve Morse axe, and he happily indulged me with a request to repeat the finger wrenchin' workout on a nearby Sub 1, pausing only to chortle as he reached for the non-existant pickup selector on the single HB Sub! Genuinely top fella, and a great knowledge holder.

I really appreciate the time the two chaps gave me, discussing a mind melting amount of info with someone demonstrating almost OCD levels of triv!

Thanks chaps, this whole EBMM family rocks.

Welcome Sticky, what a great way to join the board, don't forget about the UK knucklehead bash in London in June.

Welcome Sticky, good to see another Scot on here.

At this rate we'll soon need to form the SBOC*.

Let's hope the guys made some new sales on Saturday to add to the Scottish owners contingent.

Hey Starsky,
Sorry about the BFR Luke, it's still at the Parcel Force depot(Plonkers!!)

[starsky]

No worries BL, thanks for trying to get the BFR Luke to the event.

It would have been nice to have seen/tried it, but from my bank manager's point of view at the moment it's possibly just as well

[Sticky1973]

Thanks for the welcome chaps

I'm sat on the Sound Control website now, looking at a hardtail graphite Sub1.

I'm fighting all sorts of "yeah, this can be my alternate C tuned beast" notions, and other such juvenile triv that I do hope we all get from time to time
