Do I have to leave this forum?

[Chuck B]

This is the ErnieBall forum. To get incoming bills paid I had to sell most of my basses and some weeks ago I sold my last EBMM StingRay.
I do still have my 1978 Ray which I use to own for 32 years now.

Just when I wanted to start looking for a new job my best friend and dog became ill with diabetes and the vet gets most of my money.

I'm really sorry to read such a sad story right in the first week of a new year.

Stay. Just keep your 'Ray. It has been there for you even longer than your best friend...

Best wishes for you and your dog!

 

[Chuck B]

Thank you. No, I cannot sell Brownie, it's a part of me.

I sure hope you don't have to leave, because if you have go, then "I" have to go. I sold my last EBMM back in July!

On another note, I will be getting a brand new 25th sometime this month.

Chuck, you've been one of us for a long, long time.

I'm not saying it's good or bad, I'm just saying it.

My day job finished up 2 weeks before Christmas.I thank god I got some gigs to keep me going. But I did have to sell a few basses. What is really pissing me off is nobody wants to buy my fenders they all want my ebmm's !
I sold a jazz last week for a stupid price really stupid but my balls would still get really good money !

AnywY chuck stick around dude I love your humour and best of luck with the dog man !

Sorry to hear about everything. I'm glad you still get to hold onto what I'm sure is an unbelievable 'ray. The forum needs someone with a heart as big as yours.

Hey Chuck,

I feel your pain my brother! I am in the same boat. As all will notice, my signature went from 4 EBMMs down to my last one. Trying hard not to part with it. Things are really tough!

Hang in there Chuck. That is what my wife and I are trying to do till things turn around.

Chuck, I'm so sorry to hear this. Please stick around and I hope things get better soon. I'm very glad to hear you're keeping Brownie.

 

[Psycho Ward]

I don't think anyone is required to actually own an EBMM product to be here, it's just a love thing. I'm sorry for the tough time you are going thru, but stick around, we've got positive vibes going for you.

 

[Rod Trussbroken]

Chuck...sorry to hear that. Things will get better.

As to the Forum, you don't have to leave.

Besides, you still have "Brownie" !!!

 

[MadMatt]

Hang in there Chuck! Don't loose faith in yourself. Keep up the Job search. Better times will come.

Ugh, Chuck B, I'm really sorry to hear about that!

Just stay around and keep Brownie!

 

[Chuck B]

Thank you all, guys!
The good thing is that my Rays haven't been sold on that evil bay. They are now living with friends from the local bassic forum. As does the CAR FSR Jazz I had from Brad.

He is now loosing his eyesight due to diabetes

stick around chuck. Sorry to hear about your dog. You must hang on to that walnut ray. It looks a beauty.
