I got my first endorsement

[TSanders]

So after sending my promo pack to Gallien-Krueger and having a few phone conversations with A&R I am now a Gallien-Krueger endorsee. Makes me feel good to know that I can now get SMOKIN prices on gear ( of course Im not to the free gear level yet ). Anyway my new GK 2x12 will be on order in the next week or so. Ill post pics when it arrives.

I MUST KNOW THE SECRET OF ENDORSEMENTS.

It seems GK is giving away endorsements lately. I have a 17 year old friend, who plays in a local band, who is working on a Warrior endorsement, simply because he sent them a packet. I'm glad for him.

and majorly jealous.

I got in touch with artist relations and sent a promo. After a few phone calls I was endorsed. I play around 160 dates a year, and sent in two professionally recorded CDs. It wasnt as easy as some may think. I thought Warrior just went out of business.

Congrats! That's gotta make you feel good!

 

[TSanders]

Thanks Doug. It really does. I love Gallien-Krueger.

 

[phatduckk]

congrats dude!

well ask GK why my Backline 115 blew three times in 6 months and I never even got an email of them despite emailing them 3 times. Sorry but GK are great sounding amps but there customer service left a really bad taste in my mouth hence switching to SWR. Well done though, I will get in touch with SWR and see what they think.

Well done. Any idea what sort of discount you'll get?

Congrats, that's awesome

Congrats, dude! BTW, Warrior itself hasn;t gone out of business, Ty just decided to close the ATL gallery which has now become the Atlanta Bass Gallery which sells mostly boutique style "fluff" basses...

 

[xcental34x]

I know Warrior still has a shop in Rossville, GA. Its like 2 miles from my grandparents house.

 

[crazybass888]

Thats actually the "factory store" if I'm not mistaken. They make the guitars not too far from there...

congrats on the endorsement deal. I love my GK 4x10. I've been using it in my rig for about 8 or 9 years and it's been completely dependable.

 

[cheezewiz]

Congrats on the deal!

I must suck, after 25 yrs of gigging on and off, no one wants to endorse me

Yeah, but did you ever grovel...I mean, ask?

 

[Morrow]

Congrats on the endorsement. I have been using a 400RB for years and it 's still ticking.Also use a MB150 for my upright and practice.Great little amps.

 

[LeftyLB]

Yeah, How jealous am I ?

Earlier this year I shelled out bucks at UK inflated prices to buy the Mark IV 400 RB head and the RBS 2 x 10.

Still, I reckon I got my money's worth though as it is a great sounding amp.

Congratulations!!!

What does it take to get them to pony up equipment for free? A record deal?

 

[TSanders]

My A&R guy told me only the BIG bands get free gear. I just get a major discount.
