Yup. I'm a fanboi. But my loyalty is well placed and this thread validates it.

I think most of us know how many good things have come about as a result of this forum and surely as a result of Sterling's big heart.

Nothing wrong with being a fan of that.

Keeping a good thought for you, Ritchie.

PS to BP: You rock.

Very cool BP. Makes me proud to play your instruments besides the fact they are kick ass instruments. You are a class act.

Good luck Ritchie, I hope the job situation sorts itself out soon for you.

So great to see this!! I immediately thought of offering Ritchie a bass.....then I read BP's post....then thought about the amp....then read Ritchie's post about his being in the closet. Do you need any cords? strings? case? stickers? a glass of warm milk, perhaps?

Seriously......karma sometimes aint the bitch she is made out to be!!

All the best, Ritchie. To the entire EBMM family...classy, plain and simple!

BP, you keep giving them away (when necessary) and I'll keep buying them, how's that for karma. I'm very impressed with this company and the people that come to this forum.

Hey BP what are you doing with the ball???

I was going to have mine mounted (ugliest shot ever - really) but my cousin rifled though my stuff and decided to play a round with it (he had no clue) - he didn't get a round in with it though, it is sitting in the bottom of a pond now.

After 3 of them is it becoming old hat or do you still get the rush?

Well, I'm officially on the dole.

They closed the doors for good this morning at 9:00am

On a lighter note, I've had offers from two bands.

In the "insult to injury" department, I'm bass-less.

This years is really sucking so far! :D

Ritchie

I feel your pain. I lost my position of 22 years a couple of months ago, myself. Yeah, it sucks. Glad to hear that you'll at least be getting a stick.

Good luck to ya'.

Ritchie email beth and we will take care of the bassless problem....it will be a second or a warped tour demo but you are our friend and this is what you do for friends. Dont be picky and you will have a gift from the team at EB.

not doing it to be cool.

Everybody remember when Azzy had to get rid of her stuff and Ritchie came to the rescue organizing a rally so she could keep her and her husbands Music Man's? Guess what I remember and I believe karma is a good thing. Ritchie did something that he didnt have to do...he extended himself for someone in need. This is so easy to do and Ritchie I hope you get that this could be the first godd event in a series of good things. As George Harrison said ' All things may pass'

BP - you are an awesome individual. You have brightening up my day and world.

Thank you.

Hang tough RD...

I've been out of work for 3 months now, but I have been luck to still have my EBMMs to help me through it :)

I wish you the best and I think this will be the beginning of better things.

Ritchie, somehow I know things will work out for you, even if it has to get worse before it gets any better. And karma wise, I'd say you've got a lot of good stuff coming!

BP did a great thing for you, and should you need something else, I know there are a lot of us here who'll gladly help if we can!

Hang in there, big man!
