Question If you worked for Ernie Ball ... ...

[NHsouthpaw]

This is easy.....

Either in R&D to see everything that goes through the system.

Or the only person in Quality Control...I'd get to play everything built.

 

[edrod]

In all seriousness, I would love to do something in Human Factors.

I am studying to be an engineering psychologist and I have an interest in Human Factors as well as auditory studies.

 

[whitestrat]

I wanna be the Guitar QC tester... Them Balls are so well made, I'll probably have the least work to do... Whahahaha...

[fogman]

I'd love to be in design and development.

if not, I think being BP's sous chef could be fun!

 

[paranoid70]

I am an Electronic Engineer, so I am sure I could be of some use in the Design Department.... but I think I am better off sticking to RF Circuit Design - there isn't that many of us out there.

 

[andynpeters]

If I worked for Ernie Ball then I'm sure their reputation for making great guitars would suffer!!!!!

 

[D.K.]

That's like working in a candy store!

First of all - testing, everything regarding the tone, the wood and PU choice would be terrific.

Or distribution/marketing/advertising (sounds much more boring, but in fact it is not, and since I do it as a fulltime job anyway...)

As an alternative - serving beer to Big Poppa and all the top guitar players coming to test their new axes (or was it axi? . Well, and Dargin should always get a Martini.

Jokes aside - seeing the professionalism and the quality of EBMM makes one very eager to learn more about the way the whole thing works, so I'd be happy to try every job there is at EBMM (then the guitar quality would drastically go down, though ).

 

[73h Nils]

CAD-related something or other, for sure.

 

[OLPlayer]

I would like to be Big Poppa's US MusicMan Invitational golf course designer, specialising in Axis shaped bunkers

head of buying myself dargies

 

[DrKev]

I'd like to be the "sometimes comes up with great ideas for anything and everything and in the meantime helps everybody else out doing whatever they're doing kind of trouble shooting kind of thing" guy.

 

[Astrofreq]

I'd want BP's job. Then I'd sell the company, buy a house in 3 countries and eat chicken fingers for the next 50 years.

 

[bovinehost]

I'd be Koogie's sidekick, sort of like Barney to his Andy.

On an ad hoc basis, I could also be The Guy Who Tells Kevin To Stop Talking About Baseball.

 

[Colin]

Listen to us, we make it sound like it's Willy Wonkas Chocolate factory, when in reality it's more like the Playboy mansion...

 

[GWDavis28]

I'm a drafter, so it would be awesome to work in the CADD/Design dept.

Gotta know Pro/Engineer man, that's what they use.

[GWDavis28]

I'm a CAD guy and use same software, I'm most comfortable behind the tube. I'd be more than happy to just work in Engineering and learn the rope. I'm sure since the department is so small that there is an intimacy and closeness that can't be found at a much larger company.

[Sweat]

On a serious note I would be the facility engineer- building automation engneer, I would design implement and maintain control systems to keep temp and humidity at the proper levels and control lighting and HVAC to save money and work more efficient, hey sounds geeky but this is what I actually do
