Off Topic ??? for EBMM staff

[oddjob]

Will be in CA next week and had planned on driving up the coast. Was wondering if it was possible to bring my girl to the factory? (Don't know the company policies on such things but thought it wouldn't hurt to ask) Not a biggie but thought it would be kind of cool. Either way thanks!

I don't work at MM and this isn't an official answer but folks have asked before and its been stated that EBMM doesn't give public tours.

good luck tho and enjoy your trip

Doesn't hurt to ask. I did and got a nice tour for my wife and me in Coachella in Janaury. (thanks again Beth!)

Hey Ritch, worse comes to worse, just "drive by" the factory - to me that's just as exciting!!!

if anything, just see if anyone is available for lunch.

I know the policy but like Eggy said, it doesn't hurt to ask. EBMM has been good to me in the way of Open Houses so I am fine with whatever they say (hey, most places wouldn't even answer stuff like this).

I figured I would at least stop by the front and snap a shot of the girl in front of the building- to bad I can't fly Kermit out with me (would make for some killer shots).

I would invite them to lunch but they probably will be busy with NAMM prep - but hey, if any of you EBMM SLO staffers are hanging around my family would love to meet for lunch or an early dinner (just let me know) .

While I'm at it I just want to go back by the Madonna Inn for the bathroom

Oddjob.....eggie and all

I we do give you a tour when you drop by please dont post "I just dropped by and so and so took me to lunch set up my bass and gave me ayear worth of slinkies and bp paid for a spa day for the wife and arranged a private golf lesson with tiger woods for little Johnny KNucklehead Jr.....

Oddjob the official policy is that we cannot make great guitars and basses and have it be universal studios tour.....especially right before NAMM.....

 

[oddjob]

BP thanks. Last thing I want to do is interfer with the staff. I had looked at being in SLO on Friday and realize that most of you will be at the opening of NAMM.

Colin, had already planned on the Firestone (great stuff).

LOL!! That really was funny. I know what you mean BP. I was in SLO last summer, and was told the same thing. I can understand and appreciate the policy. I just had to laugh at the Tiger Woods lesson for little Johnny Knuckhead Jr. LMAO!
