Well spotted Mike, you beat me to it I was going to post something about this.

Anyway as you say it'll be a great day, Paul is an awesome player.

See you in the summer at the bash

 

[Spudmurphy]

Paul Boyd is a great player and has a great sense of humour - the little devil !!!

I noticed this on the SC website, I'm in Leeds, we have two branches and I've never seen a EBMM guitar in either.

Blindlemon, is there any chance of a demo in Leeds in the future?

Dude, they're clearing out SUB1's at less than used prices right now but you'll probably need to cal up.

As a former employee (some 14 years ago) - ask for Martin Hughes in the Glasgow store, he'll see you right.

Just checked the website, great price, all out of stock at the moment - probably a good thing, I've only just finished paying for my Luke.

The 'it was a bargain' line is wearing a bit thin with Mrs O!

 

[starsky]

Is it a full EBMM demo in Glasgow or just the Subs?

If there's a sniff of the BFR's then a trip to Glasgow would be very attractive!

 

[The Devil]

Its a full demo.

Contact Blind Lemon, he may be able to give you an idea of what guitars are going to be there.

Cheers Dude, hope to see you there.

Hey Starsky,

If Parcel Force deliver OK we're going to have a BFR Luke 918FTL30 serial# G4000
and a BFR JP6 962QCJ200 serial # G39919

Photos of these are on our web site

Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated.

The lure of seeing this wonderful pair of BFR's may just prove too powerful to resist a trip to Glasgow...

 

[Smellybum]

anybody go?
anybody got pics ?

 

[starsky]

I was there very briefly (Mrs Starsky was on a shopping run).

Got there around 11am and there was a tasty collection of EBMMs on display - BFR JP6, an AL, a few Axi, a Morse and some Subs along with a Luke (not the BFR unfortunately).

The BFR JP6 looked very nice, I had a feel of the finished neck which although very different to the regular JP was silky smooth.

Nobody around at that point, I guess they were getting everything ready, but I popped back in an hour or so later and the guys were busy with prospective new customers.

I didn't hang around with there being no BFR Luke, but great to see the interest and exposure for EBMM up here.

just after 11 oclock I was in collecting one of my musicmans from JImmy Egypt and met fellow forumite DLloyd outside the front of the shop.couldn't wait though

hey Starsky was your Bongo in there yesterday?.Paul,one of the bass sales guys was walking up the stairs with a lava pearl Bongo just like yours

I'd have loved a go but was in a rush and anyway,if it was yours I doubt he'd have let me

Komp

 

[starsky]

Sounds like you were there around the same time as me Komp!

It wasn't my Bongo, you should've asked for a go

*knock knock*..... Can I come in? I'm just newly registered after months of lurkin' as a guest!

Strange place to do my intro perhaps, but I was amongst the keen Musicman faithful on Saturday.

What a day! Never a more enjoyable day in a music store have I had, and it'll take some beating. I had a fantastic time chatting to Paul and the head sales Guru who travelled with him (fantastic bloke, but never caught his name ).

As far as EBMM axe's go, I'm a Sub 1 owner of just four weeks now. Had my eye on them for over a year, and watched them go for good money on the 'bay. Thankfully managed to grab a damn fine Single HB/Hardtail number in black last month in the Glasgow store. What an axe! What a deal! What a shame i'm pants!

So, on to Saturday.... as a massive JP fan, i was thrilled to noodle around unplugged with the BFR JP. Stunning guitar, and in the circumstances was happier to hand it over to the incredibly capable Paul for a full-tilt demo. What can I say; I could soooo see how that guitar is a honestly viable workhorse, even at the price where some may limit their use as an investment.

We had a flawless [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPGA3vjMLgE"]YouTube - Paul Gilbert - Scarified[/ame] run through on Paul's own Steve Morse axe, and he happily indulged me with a request to repeat the finger wrenchin' workout on a nearby Sub 1, pausing only to chortle as he reached for the non-existant pickup selector on the single HB Sub! Genuinely top fella, and a great knowledge holder.

I really appreciate the time the two chaps gave me, discussing a mind melting amount of info with someone demonstrating almost OCD levels of triv!

Thanks chaps, this whole EBMM family rocks.

Welcome Sticky, what a great way to join the board, don't forget about the UK knucklehead bash in London in June.

 

[starsky]

Welcome Sticky, good to see another Scot on here.

At this rate we'll soon need to form the SBOC*.

Let's hope the guys made some new sales on Saturday to add to the Scottish owners contingent.
