any dutch BFR JP owners?

[Dante]

i'm thinking about upgrading to BFR but i'm not that rich that i can just order one and then roll with it.

any fellow cheese heads out there who would point me in the direction of a dealer with a BFR JP in stock or who could otherwise put me up for half an hour. (if it happens to be a koa, twice as cool).

indeed required, ik zal de bier regelen

I don't speak Dutch, but I think I understand this part .
Do you prefer Heineken or Grolsch ?

 

[Dante]

j'aime pas de bierre, but it's standard around here. around these parts, it's polite to bring bavaria,

I lived in Enschede in 1993. I was studying in the ITC.
It seems that Enschede changed a lot during the last 20 years. But I am sure that all the pubs are still great (as you can imagine I know quite well the Grolsch bier )

thanks mikkel, but i need to test the finished neck as well, since it's been my nr1 reason for not buying a BFR JP.

Enschede it is then! thanks man. i think that might be the only JP bfr left in the whole of holland.... otherwise they need to work on their webvertising...

edit: gvd takke eind!

Hey Dante

I have the very same urge...Although I'm very happy with my Musicman Petrucci JP6 which I bought at Dijkman in Amsterdam May 2005, I'd love to get my hands on a BFR even the 10th anniversary JPX 6 just to see...

But like you said, finding somewhere in The Netherlands is tricky. Think I'll drop the importers (Voerman in Amersfoort) an email to see if they've delivered any recently.

so, any joy with your search?

 

[Dante]

errr, how do i put this... i made a huge jump... back to 24.75ers with fixed bridges from a brand who made it's reputation with unacceptable marketing.

 

[Musicboy1991]

dude..haha why?

if orderd a JPX almost 10 weeks ago and still not here

 

[Dante]

well, cuz my next purchase would have been the jp koa and i though "... well, suppose it's not exactly what i want, i'll be pretty &issed."

i got an awesome deal on something else and jumped on it. surprise, it does exactly what i want. i won't be discussing it openly here =)

Dante, I thought you already ordered a koa?! Apparently not but something I thought I recalled .

I'm from Enschede actually, great city, great pubs and a cool guitarshop. The American Guitarstore has a very nice selection. Always great value for money instruments and some very nice collector's and high end guitars. Kaj, the owner is a really nice bloke who always treated me great in the 15 years I've been hanging out there. The black BFR they have is bloody awesome and they also have a very nice 20th. When you get there, Dante, do yourself a favor and also try the Warrior guitars (hope I'm not crossing any lines here, if so I'll edit of course). Only brand I would consider besides EBMM if I won the lottery. Different instruments though, furniture grade really and they cost a fortune, but really nice.

 

[Dante]

never got around to it, i was afraid of spending the kind of money on a variation of a model that doesn't thrill me anymore. y2d is the only model that i really connect to. too bad there's no gibsonized version of it.

i have too say, i wish this other company had the reputation for quality across the board EBMM has.

 

[metalmarty]

I would kill to get my hands on a Morse sometime soon. Never got a chance to play one but those guitars have always intrigued me massively. If the neck resembles the original Silo it would fit me like a glove, I like a fatter neck then the JP.

Dijkman in Amsterdam had a BFR when I was there last year, locked up in the temp controlled glass cabinet upstairs. No idea if it is still there or what the price was as the JP6 I played there (with no options) was 1999 euros.

reminds me of my Gibbie LP Custom which I sold to finance the EBMM! Never looked back since. Although I must say the 24.75 is kinder on my small hands; but that nitro neck finished just made it feel sticky.

Read recently that Andy James (Lick Library & Sacred Mother Tongue) switched over from his JP6/7's too. oh well.
