KB from Nonpoint here....

[Ken Bastard]

What's up fellow EB supporters?! I just wanted to pop in and show some steamy hot monkey love for all our bros at the Ball empire. I've dealt with a ton of industry people in our years on tour, but we've never felt more like a part of the family than we do with the Ernie Ball dudes. Plus the product they offer is some of the best on the market. The Bongo 5 is my current fav. I've already done one studio album featuring the Bongo 5, and we're currently working on another that will feature the B5 and B4 exclusively. Add that to the numerous shows on my Bongos and I couldn't be happier.

Thanks again to all at Ernie Ball and we'll see you on tour soon!!!

hot steamy monkey love right back at you my amigo!

Ken is a great friend of the company's and is by far and away one of my favorite bass players to watch live.

Thanks a billion for rocking the bongos and come back if you want in between the recording process.
We can't wait to hear the new tunes....

Yo, welcome..............looking forward to your next album.

 

[HighGain510]

Nonpoint is one of my favorite bands! You guys have a sound that keeps changing and refining little by little and each record sounds better and better! Thanks for releasing the live disc too, I've been hoping to find a good recording to capture your live show and that definitely summed up the energy you guys bring to the stage! Definitely looking forward to your next disc man! Welcome!

Hey!!! Nice to see you on the EB forum!!! Looking forward to the show here in Puerto Rico next saturday!!!

+1 on the dvd, it's awesome, I only wish Elias hadn't been under the weather during filming. I saw you guys at Club Mate in Baltimore when you played with Ankla and Seemless and Silent Civilian, and the performance you put on there destroyed the performance on the DVD. I was sore for a week after that show haha.


And I also agree on your personal performance, I hate seeing bassists and guitarists that can't make playing look fun for someone thats not a player themselves, and you definitely have a blast. I was on the side by Andy and you kept running over to my side half the show, I dont think you stopped the whole time haha


Anyway, enough of that, welcome to the forums, and don't be a stranger to the guitar side.

Back from the dead!!

Hello all! Sorry for the delay in response. I kinda had to have surgery on my shoulder due to a dislocation. Here's a tip. Don't ever snowboard. Ever.
But if you HAVE to snowboard because you're running for your life from a band of ninja's in a helicopter, and the helicopter is on fire and shooting
ninja stars at you (the ninja stars are also on fire) then for god's sake, don't fall elbow first into a patch of ice. It doesn't help your ability to play
an instrument in anyway. Unless of course the post-op physical therapist is a relative of Tony Levin. Then you may be able to score some pointers....uh, nevermind.

Anyhoo, We just started working on tones for the new album. Believe me when I say I've gotten the sickest tones I've EVER had while running my
Bongo through an Ampeg SVT 2 head and a Randall guitar head for distortion. OH MY GOODNESS. Ridiculous. It's gonna be hell boys, and we're
gonna roll heads with this new disc.

TO THE BATCAVE!!! I WANT PIEROGIES!!

Oh yeah, hey B......STEELERS RULE!!! LOL.

 

[bassmonkeee]

Bongos....Ninjas.....Tony Levin.....fire.....pierogies.....

I feel like I already know you, Ken Bastard.


Sorry to hear about your shoulder. Coulda been worse--you could have screwed up while sky diving, instead.

 

[Brian]

Ken -

Can't wait to hear new tunes, and the tones you are getting sound ridiculous.

Look out for your new basses soon amigo.

Brian

 

[Ken Bastard]

Uh....bongo?

Hey guys, any chance you can slap some strings on this and set it for a drop C tuning? LOL.

 

[kissmyaxe]

Hey I had no idea Nonpoint was EBMM artists! You guys rock and keep growing on me, I love the versitilaty that you have compared to alot of other artists in your genre. Rock those Bongo Balls!

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Hey guys, any chance you can slap some strings on this and set it for a drop C tuning? LOL.

Putting a single G string on it would be best, and probably easiest.

 

[Jodizzle]

^^Hey guys, cool down ..
Nothing come between her and her ... uh .. bongos??

I was hangin backstage at the 93.1 End of Summer Slam and got to watch all the bands up close. Great day
