Wow. That dude really is an ass!

It's so rare to find one of such proportions. :rolleyes:

And if Sterling really is drunk in a pirate suit in a lobby bar, you know that's the most interesting thing going on in Indianapolis. ;)

I'd join him if I could find my eye patch.

I emailed him to ask why he felt the need to be such an asshat. I doubt if I will go back and see if he had the guts to respond.


I decided not to check to see if he responded. I think I know the reason.

I can totally believe the part about the pirate suit... have you ever seen photos of the EBMM crew at NAMM shows? They always have a theme, and they are often in costume. (I love the NAMM show where Dudley was Ben Franklin.. those pics are FUNNY!)

we have won 8 consecutive years best of show at the namm show. it is an award given out byMusical Merchandise Review, a trade magazine. Each year there are over 1700 exhibitors and it is something that we put a lot of effort into and are proud of. This year they advised us that we are removed from all future competitions due to whining by other companies. The Rumor is the Hartley Peavey was one of the biggest whiners as his booth was next to ours. Anyway the award in now namedafter us "The Ernie Ball Music Man Best of show award"

Yep, but Jack seems to have an inhuman ability to get along with pretty much anybody--I think it's his secret mutant power. And, I'm sure in his line of work, he's seen stuff over the last couple of decades to sharpen his ability to overlook the little stuff. And, make no mistake, Steve's comments are "little stuff."

At the same time, I got sick of his hypocritical bull**** a long time ago. He makes such a stand for "respect" in "his house," and then goes on a drunken rampage at TB. He used to have the habit of posting "Tee Hee--look what I did" threads at the Pit after the fact. At least he finally grew out of that habit.

I mean, really--the guy loves Aria Pro Rudy Sarzo basses, and he has the nerve to mock the Bongo? :rolleyes:

That is awesome. I still chuckle every time I see the picture of you in the pirate outfit playing the Bongo. God forbid anyone have any fun at one of those things. If I want strippers (Dean, I'm looking in your direction), I'll go to a strip club. If I want a rockin' NAMM display, I'll head to EB/MM. :D

Congrats on getting the award named after you, too. That simply cracks me up.

Lets not waste time and effort on somebody who has an axe to grind. I will say he is no match for the Dude in the Big Leibowski. I dont have any problem with Aria basses either.....its about choices if you dont like the bongo fine....im glad Will Lee does, tho

Once upon a time:

I was talking to a friend of mine who used to work for the F*nder Custom Shop (he's since grown very tired of that and moved on to civic duty) and I said something like, "I should live closer to SLO and get a job with EBMM."

He said, "Be very careful what you ask for, my friend. I speak with some experience at a guitar company. I would absolutely REFUSE to dress up like a bozo at the NAMM Show."

I said, "That's the only reason I'd want the job, fool!"

My actual secret mutant power is my ability to see through typing paper (if the sun is behind it).

I'm sure the phrase "Employee Discount" never crossed your mind...



And, for the record, I like the Aria basses, too. My point was don't go calling Bongos ugly when you like basses shaped like a plus sign and painted like a barber's pole. :D

My mutant ability is that I have the same strength as an ant. Not the same proportional strength, mind you.















Things are very heavy. :(

Sorry guys after playing a little catch up with this thread can some one enlighten me please......

Who are Carvin and what is a lakland (apart from a nice area near the artic circle - oops sorry thats Lapland)

Do we think that chap had one too many coffees - or just wonderfully blinkered.

Hang on - thinking about media law - somethign I deal with ever day - BP you might just have a case for libel, certainly in the UK. :)
