koogie2k said:Alrighty. I'm am done with this. I will let this one pass simply on the hope you have no idea who Big Poppa is. Dudley designs guitars and basses for EBMM. Let me tell you this....he is a master of bringing out the best in guitars and basses with his innovative and "out the box" thinking. Sterling Ball, owner, a.ka. Big Poppa approves of all designs and even puts his enlightenment into the designs. He makes sure we are happy....point blank....
I will tell you this....Sterling is NOT small poppa. That is quite frankly being disrespectful to the man who is also my friend. I will not tolerate it on HIS forum as most will not. You are out of line and an apology is warranted here.
Dudley is a super cool dude and I have much respect for him and his work. We are all thankful for his ideas. If you ever meet him, you will see for yourself how much of a super cool dude he is.
Big Poppa is one of the most generous individuals I know. I have said it before and will say it again....the world needs a million more like him. You have NO idea how much a statement like that irks me. I have been there for his generosity and for know how much he cares about the business, but as one of us and he does not distance himself from his customer base. YOU should be thankful for his interest and participation on the forum.
DO NOT disrespect him. It will not be tolerated. Your next post in this thread should be an apology for a statement like that. He has given his life and blood to this business. He has given his life to his family.....nothing "small" about that. I want to state something on his generosity, but on the promise to Big Poppa, I will not as it was his wish and I will honor that.
Shimi....we have had fun with this and a dream guitar is just that. A dream with changing an artist signature model. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN UNLESS THE ARTIST SAYS SO.
Rant over.![]()
Big Poppa said:Hey Shimi
There isnt an instrument in our line that dudley and I didnt colaborate on, Some more Dudley, some actually more me. It is a TEAM. Dudley and I have been together for over twenty years without a conflict or disagreement.
Your rambling posts complaining about the Y2D neck when you haven't played it are getting tiresome. Play the guitar first and then decide if it needs a different neck or trem system.
Beth said:Hi Shimi,
I apologize for not getting back to you today. BP, our company CEO/President/Owner (I know how you love titles, BP!) and Dargin/Scott Ball, his son have both been really busy lately. Since you are an international customer, you have been in my inbox today. I got tied up with lots of exciting stuff here at EB/MM today and didn't get a chance to get back to you.
The reason why we have this forum here is for people to get help and advice and share their love for Ernie Ball/Music Man products. It is also a great tool for us at EB/MM to hear the voice of you, the customer.
That said, we duly note all opinions and consider the customer when BP and Dudley get their heads together on a new project. We listen to you. However, we have so many orders for people who are happy with the options we offer, it is impossible to serve each individual's needs and tastes.
It appears to me that you have not gotten a chance to play the Y2D yet. Where are you located? This way I can help you find a place where you could try one and decide whether or not you like the look and feel of the Luke better or the look and feel of the Y2D better. If you're anything like the fruitcakes here on the EB/MM forum, you'll love 'em both and want to buy both!![]()
As soon as I get back to the office tomorrow, I'll make sure we get back to you by e-mail.
All the best,
Beth![]()
Shimi, you are a good sport and I know you'll love whatever Music Man you getshimi said:Thanks a lot for the answer and the consideration and probably ill love them both and buy them both who knows
