Thanks Dave

I just wanted to make sure that everyone understood that we aren't becoming a coffee table company but we need to show them that we can play that game with the best of them at a reduced price.....

The tail doesnt wag the dog though, the instruments come first. Secondary is the additional revenue.production

BP, I think those are the most beautiful words that you've said. Thank you for being the owner of a company that actually has his head screwed on straight. An instrument manufacturer that believes the quality of the instruments should come first. It's too bad some other instrument manufacturers can't say the same.:D

Jack, I've been making my living as a writer for well over 25 years.

My profession is expressing ideas via the written word. I take great pride in my skill at doing so.

You're a better writer than I am.

I want to meet you in person someday.

(Actually, I don't give a rip about meeting you. I want to meet your wife. She's hot. :D )

While I have only done it professionally for 15 years, and while my lagnuage isn't english, I will second this opinion. Jack, you are a really talented writer!

Edit: And while those BFR's are totally stunning, I will stay with normal production instruments, because that way I can still feed my family:D

Actually Biz Schools would say that I was really stupid. The other companies do much more business than me and cover all price points and countries of origin...of course the biz schools guys dont own slinky's..... HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHHHHHHh

What's In The Name Sez It All

What the BIZ SchoolBoyz don't get, is that it's not about money, man ! :rolleyes:

It's all about MUSIC,Man ! :)

Of course you know my latest acquisition is another, beauteous SR5 Piezo ...
not that I didn't have my choice or couldn't fund any one of several fancy US and Canadian made basses ...

But after the years of sheddin' and searchin', the real deal for me has come down to the one instrument that feels like a part of me and helps me find my sound, note by note, night after night ...

BP, it's not that you can't ever get me onto a 161, especially in the wild Blue Dawn, but I think what I'm really hopin' as of the latest SR5 / BFR torture session is that some day before I croak, maybe one of your SLOhands will slip with the carvingknife and cut something spicey for this PzoLover :cool:

I just want every single bass I can buy from EB or MM ( whatever is proper) before I die.
Ain't had a bad one yet and doubt I ever will.

You can't take them with you...




well you might be able to fit one Bongo in the coffin with you. :eek:

Well there's a company here that make bespoke coffins - I reckon I could be BURIED in a Bongo if I so desired :D

Actually, how wicked would that be? :)
