Way to go JimmyM!

Congratulations Jimmy! You are a tremendous asset to bass players everywhere and you deserve it. I always look forward to your great comments and sense of humor here and on Facebook. You rock…it’s as simple as that Brother Jimmy!
Now this here is what you call a class act! Larry my friend, got nothing but total respect for you and what you do, and always will. Still love my Bass Attack, too. Thanks very much for your kind words!
 
Sorry if I'm nosy, but if they don't pay you and you still have to pay for the stuff you get -- in what way are you an endorsor?

You've always praised their products; will they now additionally use you in some fashion for promotion or p.r.? But unpayed, you say?

I don't mean to be interrogating or anything; I'm just not clear on the concept. 'Course you have zero obligation to explain if you don't want.
I get artist pricing now. Other than that, I have no clue, and it'll probably be business as usual. I don't see a full-page ad in Bass Player in my future, if that's what you're asking ;) Stanley Clarke/Juan Alderete marquee value, I do not have. But I will represent in my own way as good as I can as they need me.
