Business hectic: Tom Bowlus for "Bass Gear Magazine"

Sign in to disble this ad
so, after a... "few months" from the supposed delivery finally I received the issue 5 of BGM; I eagerly unwrapped the plastic bag, but in doing so I also noticed that the mark on the upper right corner of the envelope has "11,39 usd" stamped!!! Wrote to the man and he confirmed that to send me the magazine, that is what he spent! Actually he did this twice, since the first one never made at my home!!!

I thought I had to share with fellow TBers, since the magazine is so pleasant to be read and I guess it can only be like that if behind it there are genuine, honest, dedicated and straight persons like him....

ok, back to work now!!! V.

Tom's been a favorite here at TB for many years now, for good reason. He's also a genuinely good guy. Here's yet, another example of his well deserved reputation. In a way it sucks that he's such a cool dude because deep down, I kind of want to resent him for his incredible collection of gear.

Can't really blame them.

Unfortunately, I think Tom sent me one of the issues three times before it got here. Damn postal workers.

Best mag in the business!

I simply have never gotten around to buying a subscription to bass gear magazine, although I meant to.
After reading this thread, I hit the link in Tom's sig and pulled the trigger.

You just impressed the crap out of me.
