Ok, this is NOT important at all.
Its just a pet peeve of mine. I dont know why, but it just bugs me. Its just a small wording issue, that I think is often stated backwards.
That said, when I read CDs, websites, even bass forum members subtitles, sigs, profiles, etc, it bothers me when someone says, "Im endorsed by (insert brand name here).
I dont have a problem with the endorsement. Its the wording. I had a GK deal for right at a couple years.
At that time:
I wasnt endorsed by Gallien-Krueger. Gallien-Krueger didnt endorse me.
Rather, I endorsed Gallien-Krueger.
End of rant. Unimportant, but again, just one of those small things that strikes me funny.
Know what Im sayin?
