Nate Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hey fellow Basschatters...! Thought i'd share my recent good fortune. I've now sorted endorsement deals with Cort, Elixir and Ampeg. Yey! Any other folks here work with companies at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Funk Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I work [i]for[/i] a company... actually, not even that's true - I work for a limited liability partnership. Where can we go to see you play, just out of interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 (edited) How so Nate? Edited July 3, 2007 by Tee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alun Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Cool, well done. I've been with Elixir for a few years and they've been great, really helpful and friendly. Cheers, Alun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I was wondering how you managed to get the companies to endorse you. Ampeg for example. Do you play professionally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Yeah - I play all the time! One of the Ampeg guys saw my youtube video too and has heard music I write and produce. Got some tunes up here if you wanna check em... www.myspace.com/nategroove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Congrats! Thats great news! I'm lucky to be endorsed by Shuker Bass YAY! I still have a deal with Rotosound but am just sorting out a new deal with The Bass Centre/Elite strings and Warwick (for the Dark Lord strings). All of which are bloomin excellent and have been brilliant with me. I change my amp gear so much I haven't given that side of things much thought what so ever. The Shuker thing is very important to me though.. 'speshly with Doodle n' all. ;o) Jon maybe a small company.. but..well... you know what I think! Genius!

Rich Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Some of us still have to buy [i]everything[/i]. Grrr. Actually, most of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddjob Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 From what i've heared of endorsements, most still require them to actually buy all the stuff, very few get any discounded prices and almost never free. The benifits are being associated with a big name company and increasing your profile as a musician. IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 I get my gear for free. I think it depends on the company. I know that EBS only give gear to people like Marcus Miller and Mark Bass don't even give Mr Berlin his stuff for free.... Ampeg are very kind.

Sibob Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 So if any companies want to endorse me, i have about 55 gigs left this year to come and see me at hahahaha: Fender Ashdown Newtone Do it! :-D My friend has a warwick amp deal, he plays for steve harley and tours all over the europe etc, and he doesn't get stuff for free, heavily discounted though. Nice one though, if i'd known u were at LGS nate i woulda come said Hi. Let us know when you have a band gig! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Hey Nate. Which loop pedal is that you're using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 YO It's a Digitech Jam-man. They're sooo cool. Very easy to use and if anyone from Digitech is reading this - how bout some free stuff....?!?! joke...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey D Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Dear Mr Elixir, Please endorse me as buying EAD bass strings and adgbe guitar strings is a very expensive affair for my custom Wes Lambe Guitar. Um, I'm not to great yet...I'll be back in 3 years with another letter. M. PS, I do play bass pretty well tho... Seriously, I have considered approaching some companies to see if they have any B stock they would be willing to give to my conservatoire, can you believe there are no amps here...rubbish.

alexclaber Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I am far too punk to endorse anything. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Come to think of it, do Avalon, QSC and Acme endorse anyone? Bootsy got there first to my preferred strings and I only change them annually at most. Are you gigging around Brighton much, Nate?

Jase Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I thought this would be a good place to put my own recent good fortune.......I now have an endorsement with Hartke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Im not important enough for anyone to endorse, and even if I did endorse anything I'd have to publicise myself which I'm not that comfortable with TBH. Its not like my playing represents any kind of example to others. Anyway, I'd much rather pay for something I liked rather than get something free that I didn't like. However if companies want to chuck stuff at me simply because of my forum prowness, then who am I to refuse...? I won't be checking my mail box tomorrow in anticipation though. Heheheh.
