So, I just wanted to let talkbass know that, somehow despite myself, I got a job at Sweetwater Sound ( www.Sweetwater.com). After I finish a month at my current job and the 13 weeks of training (Sweetwater University) I will be on the sales team. They are going to pay me to take courses on analog, digital, and midi!
My starting salary is also 2.1 time as high as my current wages! So watch out classified basses...here I come

Congrats... I do a bit of biz with those guys (or I guess YOU guys now)... Just got a Zoom H4 for my school from SW last month. What a cool unit.
Hey... I am watching Price is Right and one of the prizes is a 6 string bass... Hohner. I don't think this chick plays it though...

That was back with an ancient technology called cassette tape. Can you even buy those things now-a-days? I still use them occasionally for cables, direct boxes, etc. It's a great operation.

Richard Somethingorother really wanted me to get some more gear. |

I will not call you and leave messages...because I can PM you MUHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
And, honestly I get the feeling that Sweetwater always does the best it can for customers. But if there is anything I can do for talkbass brethren I will. Just let me know(Although its months away.)
But really, thanks guys.

Congratulations.

I like having a salesperson who seems to care about me ending up a happy customer. |

But yes, Sweetwater gets my money first.
