In the beginning God created day and night.
He created day for footy matches, going to the beach and barbies.
He created night for going prawning, sleeping and barbies.
God saw that it was good.
Evening came and morning came and it was the Second Day.

On the Second Day God created water -
for surfing, swimming and barbies on the beach.
God saw that it was good.
Evening came and morning came and it was the Third Day.

On the Third Day God created the Earth to bring forth plants -
to provide tobacco, malt and yeast for beer and wood for barbies.
God saw that it was good.
Evening came and morning came and it was the Fourth Day.

On the Fourth Day God created animals and crustaceans for chops,
sausages, steak and prawns for barbies.
God saw that it was good.
Evening came and morning came and it was the Fifth Day.

On the Fifth day God created a bloke - to go to the footy, enjoy the
beach, drink the beer and eat the meat and prawns at barbies.
God saw that it was good.
Evening came and morning came and it was the Sixth Day.

On the Sixth Day God saw that this bloke was lonely and needed someone
to go to the footy, surf ,drink beer, eat and stand around the barbie with.
So God created Mates, and God saw that they were good blokes.
Evening came and morning came and it was the Seventh Day.

On the Seventh Day God saw that the blokes were tired and needed a rest.
So God created Sheilas - to clean the house, bear children, wash, cook
and Clean the barbie.
Evening came and it was the end of the Seventh day.

God sighed, looked around at the twinkling barbie fires, heard the hiss
of opening beer cans and the raucous laughter of all the Blokes and Sheilas,
smelled the aroma of grilled chops and sizzling prawns,
and God saw that it was good, better than that, it was bloody good.
IT WAS AUSTRALIA

Then you can open a factory here!
and then I'll come down and make a huge fuss till you make me a Trans White HH Sterling! It will be great!!

If you get a move on you can be here for the Commonwelth Games...It's like the olympics but we win EVERYTHING, it's fantastic

An Aussie EB factory .. we could have our own model then .. maybe a Dingo?
Or a Dongo? Would have to be tough for Aussie conditions tho'.

 

[Colin]

A dingo took my Bongo!

 

[Lazybite]

Im up for the dongo (what about the bongoroo).... so long as it isnt the shape of glorious nation..... maybe an SE edition with an austrlian shaped PG would be cool......

Just an update to the Australian forum get together, after speaking with the wholesaler no EB products instruments will be made available for any such event. The upside is Steve Morse maybe doing some clinics/ meet and greet appearances in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne in May. This will coincide with the Deep Purple tour. Please note this has not been confirmed but is looking like it will happen. Maybe formites can meet at each city closest to them? I know the head of CMC is planning on traveling with Steve for these planned events, why not introduce yourself? He is very approachable and it might be an opportunity to express any frustrations with the lack of availability of Music Man in this country. I know the only way I will ever get one is to get one second hand or fly to the states. Something I will be doing very soon. And yes I'm frustrated.
