Apparantley us Europeans get sub standard MM's....Not true!!

Musicman Petrucci Signature with Piezo ( Music man ) on eBay, also Musicman, Electric, Guitars, Musical Instruments (end time 24-Feb-08 21:05:37 GMT)

This really pissed me off when I read it. He is basically saying that there are American EBMMS and European EBMM's. I think he's mis-representing this item. And also undermining EBMM's ethic at the same time.

This really pissed me off when I read it. He is basically saying that there are American EBMMS and European EBMM's. I think he's mis-selling this item. And also undermining EBMM's ethic at the same time.

Nah... he's wrong. EBMM send the best ones to the US dealers, the 2nd best ones to Europe, and the crap to Asia (except Japan)...

Just kidding... They're ALL great.

We'll see about that when I get my next Ball
I bought the first one in LA and I ordered my second Ball here 5 and a half months ago, so it should be here in a few weeks. Anyway, I just wanted to use this thread to say once again that I can't wait for my new Ball to arrive

Used car salesman. (a pretty good one, really)

Well, that the big theory of some French conspirators ...

The only thing I am sure is that I bought 2 Music Man in France, and they were absolutely perfect ! The rest is just polution of the cyberspace

I think its a bit tongue-in-cheek to be honest. I saw this ad afew days ago and was more annoyed that his first words are "mint condition". When you read on a bit, you discover that it has pick marks and fret-wear.....

D'Addarios! Gross!

 

[beej]

Indeed. People will say anything when they flog their used gear. That's when you see their true colours.

Ahem...as we say here in the UK...

'He's talkin' out of 'his arse!'

 

[Pittman75]

Damn Americans! I know Big Poppa tells his company to do that. It even says in the little warranty card: This guitar may not be shipped to Europe. Americans ONLY!

And when you open the card, it sings god bless america!

Sheesh, what a loser.

 

[A.J.]

I'm glad I don't work in exports right now.... kidding. Really, for the record, they are all made to the same standards, same factory, same employees, same parts, etc, etc.

Hilarious!

And inside of the card are a few Kraft American cheese slices - the individually wrapped ones.

There is only one way to put this to rest and that is for BP and the guys/gals to send me an example of each model, one set destined for US customers and another for European customers and i will carry out a thorough investigation in order to refute this allegation.

Of course, i cant afford to send the guitars back but i will look after them well

 

[Sub1 Zero]

^And send me the same, so we can compare. After all, you must have a control group

blimey, what a muppet!

does that work too?

Yuck! It's the texture that kills me...

+1. I took it to be a bit of a joke. What I can't comprehend is why he'd sell an EBMM to buy a couple of Strats for his "baby boys". Not saying there's anything wrong with that notion...but ...I just can't comprehend it.

Nah... he's wrong. EBMM send the best ones to the US dealers, the 2nd best ones to Europe, and the crap to Asia (except Japan)...

Just kidding... They're ALL great.

Actually...this is no longer true. Colin is secretly working on an agreement to have the very best EBMMs sent to AUSTRALIA!!

mmmmmmm 42 individually wrapped american cheese slices

 

[tommyindelaware]

all one has to do is look at dargie's bfr picture thread .......it tells where the guitars are going......& its obvious there is no partiallity in place.

 

[5Stringer]

Despite what this guy claims - there is one factory - one standard - for all!
