I've been wrestling with what to do and how to do it, and I've had some good advice on this, so let's just get it out of the way and be done with it.
1. Steve "The Dude" Barr is an authorized EBMM Dealer.
2. Steve has hired me to be his sales rep for EBMM products.
What does this mean for you? Well, it means that you know me, you know EBMM basses (and guitars, for that matter) and I will work hard to get you what you want and have Steve lick your bass.
I have thought about this a lot and offered to give up my moderator position but my resignation was not accepted. If, in the future, it proves to be some kind of conflict of interest, then we will drive off that bridge when we come to it.
Hah hah, little Ted Kennedy joke there.
The way I think it will go is that things will not change an awful lot. I will still be just who I am, only you can PM me or email me for information, availability, prices and so on. Do NOT expect me to beat other dealers by some significant amount or meet or beat your local GC dealer.....we (Steve and I) are happy to be where we are, selling the best basses ever, but the fact is that the deal you get from the other authorized guys here is about what you will get from us.
I will continue to support Doug at Daddy O's and the other good people who participate in this modern experiment.
I will also continue to tell you the truth as I understand it.
The bottom line is that I, along with the other authorized EBMM dealers who are here on the forum, are about equal on what we can do for you. You will continue to play the best basses on earth, I'm sure, and know that we - all of us, including the customer service humans at EBMM - will take good care of you.
If I step out of line, I will expect you to fix me.
So - let me know, as always, if I can help you.
This has been really tough to write, and I am doing the best I can to treat everyone, including myself, fairly.
You guys rock.
