this is not intended to be a GC bash thread, a political rant or anything of that kind.
i thought it would be beyond cool in the same way that EBMM pays its employees living wage as a starting salary for EBMM to team up with all of its independant retailers and release a bass that is available only in the stores run by the little guy.
A lot of independant retailers out there offer some pretty good deals on musicman instruments and sell a whole bunch of them.
for example i got my bass in 2004 for an even 999 dollars from this single location retailer music center in wisconsin.
and in this downed economy the little businesses are going to take a harder hit than larger companies with multiple locations. of course this would be a lot trickier as you'd have to be working with a lot of different people but i think that it would be something genuinely awesome.
and a lot of these companies are ran by really cool people. my local music store is letting me pay every two weeks a minimum of 5$ and if i bring anyone there and they purchase something i get 10% of what they payed off my purchase. the layaway has no time limit and if i say i dont want what i bought initially i can get something else store with store credit.
these small mom n pop shops are flat out awesome and i think it would be far awesome if EBMM would release something that was specifically available only through them.
im only suggesting this because i think EBMM is the only company that would do something like this. they make the best basses in the world in my opinion and are constantly innovating rather than sticking to an old model and never changing. not only this EBMM is constantly doing awesome things for people ie, not outsourcing the manafacturing jobs, paying a living wage to workers, the best customer service team on the planet, promotion of local bands through battle of the bands events and so much more.
