Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year.
I used to hate this time of year…saw it as just a waste of time, counterproductive, momentum killer. But then I got married in 11/06, got my first EBMM in 03/07, had my first daughter in 10/07, and a second on the way…probably in 03/09. Needless to say, a few things have changed. And for the first time in a long time this has been a season to reflect on good things, enjoy family, and based on that look forward to the New Year with happiness and hope. It has been a tight year financially and my parents got divorced after 30-some years, but the blessings have outweighed the troubles by far and I am grateful.
Having said that…a big THANKS to everyone here. This place is my insane grasp on sanity during the day. I work the IT helpdesk at a local hospital and I love the job, but it’s chock-full of people with something to complain about…and somehow it’s my fault. So thanks for being the knuckleheads that you all are. As strange as it seems to call a bunch of bass enthusiasts that I’ve yet to meet in person “family”, that’s what I consider you to be, so again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Good vibes to you all.
To BP and all the staff at EBMM…a special Merry Christmas to you. “Thanks” just isn’t enough. I have two of what I consider the finest basses on the planet and yeah, I paid for them, but I’m still grateful for the obvious care and effort that went into building them. It’s a business, but the way that you guys do business is so refreshing. Your passion inspires our passion for these instruments in a way that, literally, no other manufacturer is doing these days. I’m sure it would be so much easier for you to simply deal with dealers and avoid a forum like this where there is so much potential for complaints based on either the spreading of misinformation or the simple human nature of wanting what we can’t have just because we can’t have it. Your participation here is much appreciated. I don’t usually get too excited about Christmas gifts anymore, but in the two years that I’ve been here the anticipation of watching your NAMM offerings unfold has been just like the anticipation of Christmas that I felt as a kid.
Anyway, that’s probably enough for now.
Peace.
