matchbox twenty Silhouette

[Chrismo]

Does anyone remember the story behind the matchbox twenty Mad Season Silhouette that was produced a few years ago? Were they custom ordered from the record company and released for promotion and contests? Or were they actually sold in small amounts? They came in white and black.

I've been looking for one for years and I'm upset to find that I've missed out on one on eBay the other day.

I had one for a little while, but it was so used, needed some work.

Did you have the white or black one?

 

[robelinda2]

Black, just like in the photo, I sold it to a guy in the USA.

I did not know that...

Got it in 2005, it was the 2nd ball I owned, got it off ebay from a a guy in Melbourne.

It's starting to come back to me now

 

[robelinda2]

Actually I dont think I ever told you! There's been so many i've owned and forgotten about. I only had it for 3 weeks, and I ordered a brand new Silo Special after that. Seems like a lifetime ago.

yeah Matchbox 20 came out of nowhere and one of the guitarists was using a silo....they then wanted to use the guitar as a promo....of course they got sold instead of kept and the guitar player I think got an endorsement with Fender.

Going from Musicman to Fender??? It should be the other way around

I never liked those guys.

MB 20 is my lady's favorite band.

We went to see them in March of '08 and I don't remember a musicman being played.

Might have made the switch before then...and our seats were pretty far back though.

 

[robelinda2]

I think they are a quality act.

 

[roburado]

I was just kidding.
