A Brief Moment for Sentimentality

[greenwizard]

Okay,
I had been meaning to use my 500th post to say something great about Ernie Ball but I forgot and all I ended up saying was

He smothered it with butter. You can't eat it...

So instead I'll do it with my 501st post.
I think that the entire world should be run like Ernie Ball. If there's a problem, you call CS, and they fix it. End of problem. I'd like to personally thank Dan (5stringer)for helping me fix the piezo on my JP.
And let's face it, BP is the best business owner ever.
I haven't even gotten to their products either. Every MM guitar I've played has been dreamy. The first thing I ask when I walk into a music store, even if I'm looking for a pick or strings, is if they have and Music Man guitars in stock.
Suffice it to say, I count EB as a blessing and I'm very grateful for everything you guys do.
Lastly, but not leastly, I'd like to thank everyone on this forum. You've pretty much ruined my life. In a good way of course ! I spend way to much time on here gawking at balls, and gassing in the worst way. Even my mathematical sense has been ruined. I convert currency into Balls now. "4000 dollars, hmmm, that's 2 JP's, score".
So thanks for that.
Thank you everybody,
Greenwizard

Is a JP guitar that cheap where you live ?

Here I would say that 4000 dollars is about 1,5 JP's lol

 

[greenwizard]

^^Rough estimate. I bought mine in the states though.

 

[mesadualrec]

yeah 4000 dollars is the equivalent to onre fully loaded JP mystic here

 

[greenwizard]

Which makes it all the more admirable that both you and crimson own one! Would you buy it again if you could go back?

No doubt I would buy it again !

 

[greenwizard]

^^ My point exactly!

I can appreciate a bit of sentimentality. I feel the same way, greenwizard.

I'd say 501 is a far superior number .

Well said Greenwizard, I agree 100% The 2 months I have been in the "family" have been outstanding. I love everything about the company and have met some great people online here in our little EB world. I look forward to meeting some of you next year at the next Desert Domination or NAMM.

Haha!
Next time I see a stormtrooper around I'll ask for his ID number.

They do have a fantastic response at Customer Service. Dan (Aziah too) has always been extremely helpful when a guitar of mine needs something corrected or fixed as is currently the case. And Jon's good work has been pointed out often (as it should be) on these forums.

Dude, you're on a rampage! More posts than me and you've been here half the time

I also convert currency into balls. My parents were watching Antiques Roadshow and some old lady gets a doll appraised for 12000$ and I'm like, "Sell it; buy 6 guitars"

Which reminds me, I need to check around for any antiques worth selling.
Aaaah, the things you'll do to get more balls.

i agree with you on the fact that ernie ball as a company is just out standing when comes to quality and service its just insane how much they really give a **** about there instruments i worked in a guitar shop and ebmm was the ONLY company that really cared about what you get !
awesome thread
cheers

 

[greenwizard]

^^That might be an appropriate company motto:
"Ernie Ball, we actually give a ****".
On second thought....

PS: How's the saving up for the BFR Bahama Blueburst coming. I've got to buy an amp first and take stock. One day...
