Hello and Happy holidays,

Im getting killed with PM's!!!!

Please don't send me a pm to unless your house is on fire, or your going to give me a hot stock tip. I m not trying to big time any of you but I cant do my job and answer all of the questions. The sad part is that they are usually very, very basic customer service questions and most of them are even covered by FAQ.

Dont run me off of here. If you have a question contact customer service first and then post it here if you need more help.

I hope you all understand

Hey Boss - in your user profile, you can disable your PMs.

You might want to consider it, since this comes up every six months or so.

P.M. sent. :D

Happy Holidays!
 
Hey Big Poppa,
Which way do I turn the tuner to make the string sound good?
also
Which end of the cable goes into the guitar and which end goes into the amp?
I didn't find these in the FAQ.
Yeah, turn off your PMs.

I don't PM you unless I intend on telling another whopping lie. I wouldn't want you to yell at someone just because I told a lie. I think your standard company policy of "Ignore anything NorM ever has to say" is a good one. It's tried, it's true it's easy to understand and it works for everyone. Even then I like to think about it.
My hair is made of Pudding!

Where is the tuesday morning torture?
Piezo's on the 20th Silo and 30th Stingray?
What is the pickguard choice for the LEs?
 
I feel your pain BP....I get a ton of them on the Pit and most of answers to them can be found elsewhere on the forum via a simple search.

I have considered turning them off over there but "some" mean direct money in my pocket (and thus indirectly into yours) so I don't but I hear you on this.

I likewise suggest you turn off your PM's in your profile.


<----jots note to self to call BP's cell at midnight 12/24 to wish him Happy Moosturds.

All I gotta say is that this speaks volumes about you BP. Not that more needs to be said. But it is impressive you take the time to read your PM's whether they are trivial or not.

Doing my part in keeping down the PM's,
Tom

Dear Big Poppa
I appreciate your concern for my house, but since I'll probably be kind of busy while the house is burning (the wife, kids and basses need to be gotten out of burning house), would it be ok to just send you a pic of the burnt down house after the fire brigade have done their job?
If you really need the PM while the fire is going on, I'll make sure I'll always sleep with my lap top tied to my chest. I think I will also have to put a wireless router somewhere outside...
I will PM you the details and see if you find them satisfactory.

According to the F*nder brochure, it doesn't matter as long as you get them all parallel [except for the 'Special Series'.] ;-)

Big P I can do some tricks on my end too if you are getting overloaded. I've been itching to try the "Delete all users' private messages" function, so if it gets crazy, ask the Monkey.

See what your doing Is so rare no other Company is doing, The CEO chatting with the public. Your setting a New Format here for all those Guitar and Bass Builders who think their just way above everyone else.

The down fall is everyone can't wait to ask the CEO a question. All you need to know is we all Love you and they just need to call Customer Service, You have an incredible team that can answer anything.
From me To You Big Poppa, Merry Christmas & a Happy and Great New Year to you and your family and the incredible Team At EB.

At the risk of confusing forumites, (btw; the base language here is 'english'), it seems we're beginning to discover the void created when all you children decided you knew everything, and that 'there is no Santa Claus' ...

you don't want to be good children but you still want to get everything you ask for ...

now you're lonely; and BP is paying the price ...

all I can say is "Long Live BP", who runs one of the more generous, albeit noisey and cluttered orphanages in cyberspace ...

Merry Christmas from north of The South Pole,
