EBMM Production Numbers & Other Stats

[Smallmouth_Bass]

How many instruments does EBMM put out in a year?
What is the most popular model (bass and guitar)?
What is the most popular colour?
For basses, what percentage of basses sold/made are single pickup configurations?
Outside of the US, what country gets the most EBMM instruments?
How long does it take to produce an instrument from start to finish?
How many people does the production plant employ?
Where does most of the wood used come from (country)?

I don't know if this is confidential information, I am just curious and I'm sure a few of the other EBMM fans might like to know as well.

How many questions can one ask in one post .

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

I was hoping others would add more!

OK lets be nice and not armchair MOderate.

WE really dont release any production numbers as we are a privately held company. It takes about 5-6 weeks in the production cycle start to finish

SOrry I cant be more specific there are just too many people who dont tell the truth so I keep my business private

 

[bovinehost]

Yes, by all means, leave the moderating to the professionals!

I can say that BP probably won't release any production numbers as they are a privately held company, but it takes about 5-6 weeks in the production cycle, start to finish.

I doubt he will be more specific.

See why I'm a moderator?

OK, I probably should regress too. It was just kind of lying out there. My sense of humor sometimes makes people wonder SMB, no harm intended .

See it's slucas fault

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

Okay guys, no problem with the questions. It was worth a shot!

Are there any general things you can answer that won't reveal too many trade secrets to unwanted sources like most popular colours or % of basses vs guitars made in general?

 

[adouglas]

Answer to one of them:

Black.

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

I think I read somewhere that black, white and sunburst (not necessarily for EBMM) are always popular, regardless of trends. I guess I'm still a little surprised to hear that black is still so popular. It can look nice but it also shows up every little nick, dent and finger print.

 

[Big Poppa]

you know this is a great thread for the poster to discover the super wonderful search funtion You can find all kinds of gems and jewels there

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

I actually initially did a search on production numbers but came up with nothing.

And Natural

Some things have been disclosed in the past.

For example, EBMM tends to sell more basses to bassists and more guitars to guitarists.
