I've been noticing that in the back of the Ernie Ball Power Slikny Bass 5 pack there is a pretty big list of bands and artists that use EB strings but some of them are repeated, like Adema (on line 12, the third one from right to left, and in line 16, fourth on from left to right) and Trust Company(in line 6 on the right, and in line 17 fourth on from left to right)...just a lil something I spotted hehehe, if anyone else finds more, ur all welcome to post em':cool:

Two things:

1. Are you kidding me? :D

2. Think about it like an IPOD shuffle with all the names in it. You will get some songs/names randomly apearing more than others. :cool:

With the new foil packaging the Artist list has been edited and condensed. Most sets leaving the factory are in the new bags. You may find some stores selling through the pre foil packaging stock....

Wow - you could have used this time to work on a cancer cure,

My only rant is my name isn't on the back of the pack, I checked it once when I was 12 and again a few years ago - I'll check in another couple of years, but short of getting really good and meeting Poppa and selling my award winning personality enough to have him build me a signature model, I don't think I'll be on the back!

I am replying to your post with proessionalism and resepect,,, but, eh,

YOU HAVE TOO MUCH FREE TIME ON YOUR HANDS!

C'mon now, volunteer at an old folks home, learn a new language, learn to count cards, but dude, not counting names on the back of string packs....

I'm just thinking of your wellbeing.

I have just the thing for you, set this video to repeat and enjoy countless hours watching paint dry, it's got to be worth a Palm D'Or award in Cannes... ;)

A lot has happened in the last two years. Gradutated from college, got a full time job, I play in 2 bands.. I'm just on of those people that likes to read everything.. At morning while having cereal, I'll read the ingredients.. basically everything thats typed on the box.. same goes for when I got my first bass (Ibanez) and when I got my EB, I read everything that came with it.. so its no surprise I would read the back of the EB string pack.. I only read once to notice the repeated bands

Personally I couldn't read past the first line without falling in deep sleep, but if anyone wants to read this and highlight the artists which have been repeated, I would be grateful

HO-LEE-CRAP!

I thought the guys giving you a hard time about having too much time on your hands was a little harsh.....until I saw that picture!?! :eek: Haha, how on earth did you: 1) get thru that whole list, and 2) know some were listed twice!?!?!

haha, just giving you a hard time.
