I Think the Cats out of the Bag

[straycat113]

It seems like so much has happened on the two years I have been on the forum, but what I notice the much and think we should just re-phrase it is when someone posts an EB guitar sighting. When I first came on there used to be a lot of post like that be it even a sideman playing with a well known artist. Well these days If Clapton and Beck cameout playing them I would not be surprised and would just post EC and Beck rocking some Balls. So many well known players are using them now I think we can all agree it is no surprise seeing anyone with one in there hands anymore. Now I look to see who is jumping on board and joining the crew lol.

words slowly getting around. i guess thats the sterling way to do it, just make good quality products and sit back and let people find them and let the quality speak for itself.

Who?

BTW, the way it doesn't surprise me much either. EB makes some great guitars - the Silhouettes are the best!

I agree. I have owned a very expensive Strat and PRS. The Strat was just boring sorry if that offends anyone. The PRS as good as it was had something missing but my ASS is amazing. The tones and feel of it are awesome. All the other manufacturers need to play catch up if they can.
ASS as in guitar is awesome not my actual ass!!! That is the stuff of nightmares lol

Jeez...this..and the "swinging in front of the misses" thing...tsk ...tsk ...tsk


But yeah, EBMM is not so much underrated as it is unknown I think. New players will gravitate towards Fender/Gibson, only because these are the most wellknown. Experienced players will tend to keep using the gear they are familiar with aswell (Fender/Gibson again)...On a dutch guitar forum I frequent, EBMM is not well known at all

I went down the same road , but I was lucky enough to discover EBMM...and it seems this is happening to more and more people .Whee!

Up until 10 months ago ago I hardly ever saw any post on neutral sites like the GP or HC on EBMM guitars unless it pertained to the old EVH, now they post about them on a daily occurrence and you will find good topics regarding them, and surprisingly how many guys are just discovering them now but in a pretty big way as everyone raves about the quality of the guitars. Kind of weird how things just exploded, but then again as what the post was about to begin with a lot of well known players are seen with them these days and Gods of Prog-JP, Country- Lee and now Paisely and Rock/Blues-Bonamassa to name a few are top names in there fields and that is all it takes. No new bands in the 80s would be caught dead with a Les Paul until Slash picked one up -a copy to boot lol and raised them like Lazarus from the dead. Players want to play what is hot and personally I think EB has never been hotter and I mean all around and not just one guitar.

Well said !! I just received my copy of Joe Bonamassa "Dust Bowl" and the inside credits had many referrences to Ernie Ball and MusicMan products Another great player to add to the list !
