I'll bet that if you spoke German, he'd be wildy captivating. Unfortunately, I think he's speaking Swedish.

Apparently, no, no one else sees what's wrong here.
Please enlighten us.

The phrase "Und keine eier" is nowhere to be heard.

Man, this is like one of those troll "Once you see it, you'll s*** bricks" demotivational pictures where you scour the picture over and over again and never see anything wrong, and then get no reply as to what the pants bricking element is.

WTFrick OP!? Spill it!!!

I think he was referring to the fact that they chose this German dude to showcase this amp, which was a terrible decision because if you watch the video you can clearly see that Victor Wooten is in the background and upon closer inspection, he seems to be in a great mood. I would assume he would have gladly showcased it for them. What a silly move..

He probably doesn't speak German well enough.

I see a boat load of MarkBass gear and a few Ampeg cabs along with Victor in the background of an ad for a very lonely G-K.

Not good marketing.

Or is it simply that the dude needs a haircut?

Didn't get to watch the whole thing, so I didn't see any one else. If Victor Wooten was there, I can see why they would'nt use him to plug the amp, they want to show it off, not blow show it up.

Also, if Victor was shown on the vid playing on that amp, GK would have to pay him.


My bad, just looked at the vid again, and there's Victor, in the background...................or at least a PICTURE.

One other thing I noticed that seems "wrong" IMO. He showed the eq controls, and turned up the hi and lo mids only, leaving the bass and treble controls mid way. If it's supposed to be a BASS amp, wouldn't you want more bottom instead of mids, or am I just too "old school"?

Bit of an odd Mic placement IMO.

I don't think the OP recognizes the context. Vic, though looking to be in a good mood was quite flat.
