...is that the shops here don't carry a lot of EBMM basses. The reason for this is obvious; there aren't enough customers to economically justify 20 EBMM's in a shop. Still, I hate it!
The good importers here really try, but Bongo fever seems to catch on real slow. When I meet fellow bass players, they NEVER know my instruments until they read the head stock, and then they get confused because it's not a StingRay.

One good thing is that there is a Ltd RR HH Bongo in the importer's ware house, and I'm patiently putting money away to be able to get it some day. Sadly (sort of) it will probably be there for me when I have the money...

Sorry about this rant, just wanted to vent. In this case I envy all you US residents. Bitchin' about "only" 5 EBMM's in a GC? There is ONE store in all of sweden with more than 5 EBMM basses!

Just try to get a majestic Alp in Tucson AZ.
Isn't it great that EBMM has dealears that can ship world wide?

It's all just part of the wonderful modern age in which we live.

I think strummer would be hard pressed to find an Alp in Sweden, too. :eek: ;)
Switzerland and Sweden are not the same thing?

WOW I suck at European Geography! My Bad.

They do have a lot of Nobel prize winners there though.

Don't sweat it, NorM! I just hope you're not in charge of AIMING those rockets that you're involved with... ;)

Hej!

Nya Musik in Jonkoping used to carry a nice selection of EBMM when I used to go to Sweden on a regular basis. However, this is of little use to you as its hundreds of km away from where you are!

300 km isn't too bad a drive:)

Thanks for all the encouraging words on Sweden (and Switzerland;) )

I live on an island. And in all of the music shops put together there is only one EBMM on sale. Now that's a poor performance.

Guernesey is such a nice place ... just a bit rainy ...
