getting endorsed?

[hasbeen]

I love them....I have a DJ and a 55-02 with the "new pickups"....not the "New New" Chi-sonics, but the previous "New ones".....I tried out the Chi-sonics recently at the Chicago GTG - they are VERY nice! I cannot wait to get a bass with the "New New" Chi-sonics (we are doing a LE LOG bass which will have them - IF we can enough orders....we are only about 1/2 way there now!)......peace.

thanks a bunch. I really liked the one I played today. ....USA, trans blue, all ash (no maple cap), rosewood board, 5 string. I almost bought her. I might go back.

Do what I do -- Play with the guy who owns the company! (Kenny Segall of Snarling Dogs/Red Zone Effects is my guitarist! )

i take the labels off all my gear for this very reason.

until i'm paid i don't do your advertising.

But this way, you're denying the opportunity to know how you get your tone to any fellow bassist in the crowd that happens to like how you're sounding.

Don't worry...he doesn't do that. The only time that happens is when somebody is forced to play a backline that is against their endorsement agreement. Or, when somebody (such as the NFL), requires that any brand that appears on their broadcast must have an agreement.

For some reason there is a contrarion nature in some people to say they take this position, yet, I've never seen an Alembic with the logo removed.

A&R?

That's pretty much nothing more than a title only, in the music Business today.

A&R people in the industry today are very rare.

Not to get into details and to stay on the topic of the OP.


Artist today are not being groomed to be great and have long careers like they were 15-20 years ago,today there is an influx of a cookie cutter mentality from the major labels,what worked for one label has to work for all,at least this is what most label heads feel.

Most artist are nothing more than a tax right off target for labels anyway.

Predators are every where.

So, in other words, the labels are looking more for "flavor of the month" type artists, that they can just dump when the popularity drops for them??

What do you really think ? A label can keep an artist popular if they wanted to.


The question is not just the flavor of the month artists but so many of the super major label artist as well,why do they have so many problems with the labels that they're on ?



Major labels feeling threatened.

I honestly don't know how it all works in that end of the business, that's why I was asking.

Today's artist do not need a major label for them to be successful.
