Barge is back

I just visited Barge Concepts' web site. It is under construction as of November 30, with a "Coming Soon" post, or something like that.

So, it's good to know that they are still in business.

Thanks for the note. I always liked their old website. I hope it doesn't change too much. It seems sort of dangerous to just go silent for months, then wipe clean your front page with an open ended 'coming soon' note....

Fingers crossed the 'coming soon' really is soon. They seem like a great company and it'd be a shame to see them just fade off.

FWIW, I must say that the wiring/soldering/layout on the interior of my Barge-VFB was the neatest I've ever seen, second only to the guts of my Barber effects.

Actually, I don't think this is a good sign at all. I've seen websites say "under construction" for months, years... as long as someone is paying to keep the page up. I just checked it and it still says under construction.

I would like one of their mini blenders, so I hope they come back.

I know. I've been checking back every day, and nothing new. But before this, the last update was in August.

I hate Barge Concepts as a company. I was kinda hoping they were dead so someone else with a shred of customer service skills could pick up their designs and actually sell them.
