Guys! In august I am on holiday in San Luis Obispo...

Can you recommend any places to go/things to see? Of course I would like to see the EBMM factory if it is possible...

Can't wait either way.

Zak.

Hearst Castle, the elephant seals at the Pierdas Blancas Light House, Montana de Oro State Park, Taco Temple in Morro Bay, Highway 1 through Big Sur and much more. It's a beautiful place.

IIRC, there is a great Farmer's Market in SLO (is it Wednesdays?) If still in season and/or occuring, great stuff; streets are blocked off. good food, etc.

Maybe some of the Board Member/Employees (or Owner) can verify this.

Otherwise-
2 things-
SLO is so nice, you don't need to PLAN anything; you'll simply have a good time just by being there...Of course if you wanna do the Hearst, etc. Fine.

And more importantly-

It is a little known fact, that when ANY Forum registered Member shoes up at the Factory, simply give the receptionist this code-
(Better write it Down...)


" X 56Y-- C3 007- YBGR- 8-5- A"

All letters/numbers are case sensitive; there are no Zeros.

THIS code will-believe it or not- Get you access to the "Zoom Room"-
You'll be taken there by a lovely guide- and you will be allowed to pick and choose, and take home with you-
ANY Bass Guitar you want.
They're all there; every color, every model, even some special ones.

Hard to believe, huh?

These are some cool peeps, up there in SLO!

...Don't try it in Indio, tho, they'll throw you out!

:D

Oh yeah...
The U.K.
Nope, sorry Zak Duarte, it was, well, it was a joke. Yeah, a joke. Funny.
Not gonna happen, nope.
If you showed up and babbled that Code, well, they would look at you kinda funny, then maybe smile; then , well, they might ask you nicely to kinda leave, after giving you a tourist map of SLO. and an "Ernie Ball" smiley badge, maybe.

OTOH, it the owner says count the pics at the Grill, hey, who knows?

But don't let ME be the one to dash your hopes!

Oh, well, you actually did raise my hopes a bit, but I doubted it greatly. Damn, you actually did get me exited! Some would say I look like the gullable british twat...


But I DO want an ernie ball badge, and see some pics of pops on some walls in some firestone grill.

But to the serious suggestions, thanks and keep them coming. I'm passing through and staying for 2 days coming from San Francisco and then down to LA. Should be a goodun.

The trick with the pics of Pops at the Firestone is to see who is in them with him. Write down the names if you can....cool list.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmm....tri-tips! :cool:

C'mon...Really!??
Well, never mind, you'll LOVE SLO and Pismo Beach, etc. Absolutely California at it's finest, and the Farmer's Market is superb...

Sorry to get your hopes up, and no you are not a gullible British....
(whaaaaaaa??):D

And I think Musashi's secret code may be be a singular, personally-issued one, have to check my code-book...one sec...

Yuppers!:D Him alone!
