A piece of EBMM history?

[nad]

Hey,

was just browsing round the ol' interferweb and I stumbled across this in a catalogue, anyone know the story behind it?

Cheers!

EDIT, according to the EBMM history here the axis sport was either announced or introduced in 1997 (I don't do german).

Could this be the first axis sport produced? BP?

Looks like the owner has at least given it some play time. interesting where exactly did you find it?

 

[nad]

Have come home from college now and I can't remember the name of the place. It'll be in my history when I go back in tomorrow though.

Just a bump in case BP is strolling about and can shed any light over it, oh, and I managed to find the link for it:

guys I thingk that this was signed for the uk dist to celebrate the first guitar out of the new factory just as the germans have the #1 bass. I will chck to see if my memory is correct

also These are real sigs and it is funny that the guy didnt put at least tape over the sigs as My now deceased father only signed maybe 5 mm's in his life.......whoever buys this please protect this sig as it is truly rare and pops isnt around to sign any more.

my dad and I only signed two instruments total

wow that's amazing. BP do you think you'll ever write a book about your dad? It's an amazing achievement and I hope that someday we can read about it.

Payment is processed!! This one of a kind is on its to way to my door!!

Now an important question: what would be the best way to preserve the signatures?? I won't take it out to gigs probably, but I would like to be able to actually play this baby every once in a while... But I definitely don't want the signatures to fade over time!!!

Any advice on this???

Thanks,

TwAn.

I'll take very good care of her, don't worry!! And if BP wants to come over to Belgium and take some pics, he would more than welcome to stay in my house!!

Of course, I'll be taking some pictures of my own as soon as this baby arrives!!

Wow, only two guitars signed by Sterling an Ernie, that`s really amazing.
So, here is the second one:

Best regards,

Phil

Twan that great congrats man!!! The Axis Sports never got a fair shake in my book. It's a great guitar and knowing what BP said that makes this one a real treasure.

Enjoy it man!!!

Hey BP the E of Ernie (you pa´s Signature) looks exactly like our currency Euro sign. €rnie Ball

How did he know in 1998 when Deutschmark was still alive.

I'm so happy!
