    2 Pickup Build-A-Bass?

    You guys are doing great on all the websites for your products, and I especially love the Build An Instrument feature on the Music Man website, but I was wondering when/if the 2 Pickup models are going to become on option to Build on your instrument?

    It's not a life or death matter, I'm just curious, I know it must take a long time to photograph all those different combinations.

    Thanks a lot!

    The factory has outstripped the ability of the webmaster to keep up!

    First the Bongos, now the dual pickup basses, what's a webmaster to do?

    I bet it does take a long time to get all those photos done correctly.

    Glad it's not my job!

    Don't forget the instrument builder needs the SUB guitars and basses and the Morse Y2D as well!

    Although the SUBs shouldn't be too bad since there are somewhat less options (although still plenty of variety).

    I recall the number of optional combinations to be up around 50,000!
    It's all about the bass!

    Yeah, they were planning a rehaul before NAMM and the new 2 pickup models. Then, EBMM was offering 30K combinations. Now, with a 20K+ bump, I don't expect to see it anytime soon! No hard feelings, though - this thing will certainly take time!

    It will be a huge job, and it will be done, but the company is really going to be busy making guitars...Imagine that. Be patient. You guys know that a lot of $ and work was invested on the new server.(remember how slow it was with the battle of the bands).

    The website will be updated in time. But we need to make guitars and basses.

    Maybe BP will see this and give us his input on this.

    If you can't get him to come here and fess up. Please take a big digital photo and post is here.

    I wanna know Dudley if I ever see him. I want to thank Dudley as I would very much like to.

    In the same matter I would like a recent picture of you my friend.

    Hey BP how about a show off my employee forum and you just post pictures of the whole crew that builds these basses ( and guitars) we all love?

    I would like to put a face to a name any time I can.

    I would like to shake hands with and hug every employee you have.

    I do hug my bass. It is special and anyone that had a hand in building it well I just want to see them and a chance to say Thank You to them

    Wouldn't be the gig I am going to miss next month, but it would be something

    tk

    Now you've "threatened" to HUG the fine people who build your guitars/basses, I have a feeling those pictures will no longer be forthcoming

    Hey kids

    we know that we need to update the web page for mm. we also think that along with this forum all relevant info is avail.

    WE are swamped in the web dept.......I posted an answer to this last week but we are just making 14 new guitars and basses, producing a world class open house, running the largest battle of the bands in the history of the biz hosting a website with over 21000 mp3s of unsigned music featuring over 2.5 million downloads., building new corporate headquarters, running the Scion tour (Check the website for that it is pretty cool,) running the mobile stage on the warped tour doing sound for 16 bands a day, building a new mobile stage for next year.... That is just the highlights.
