Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 No player is 'endorsed' The artist endorses the product of the company - not the other way around. The question should be 'who has endorsed products of the most companies?' 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SH73 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Steve Harris gets through a few sets of strings during a tour. They sound great when they're new, but tend to go dead soon. Also ,pricey.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I'm to get to the bass players who've gone all in with one brand and then pop up with a similar product with a different manufacturer. Brian Bromberg's B-Quad springs to mind...

The question should be 'who has endorsed products of the most companies?' I'd say that in practice it works both ways round. The company is 'endorsing' the artist by accepting their endorsement of the product. I mean: I favour Jim Dunlop picks..... but I doubt they would put my name to their product.
