This Board is great!! and I second the drive-by.

Thought this thread would die.... and whimper a coward's death.

but hey new friends come out of hiding and in defense.

and we all still have fun.

p.s. I was a marketing guy but I made it to old and now I just make pizza.

God Bless,

Glenn

Cliff, you can send it to Henry in Nashville. You'll probably even get the job. What I would suggest is that you just get a hotel room, don't move there. Nobody lasts that long.

Hopefully the legal guys that decided to sue Elderly are in that bunch, too. Trying to restrict a dealer from selling any other brand except yours is a loser of a strategy. It says a lot about the (lack of) confidence you have in your products.

When Motley Crue came out I loved them. They were hungry and passionate and real. After the second album they sold out and have been horrible and only gotten worse ever since. They have been horrible for almost twenty years now. I can’t stand them. I too was irritated at having that hack Six in the ad….”A legend among bassists!” I think when they broke, the producers didn’t even want him on the albums because he could hardly play. Thus Six to me is an insult to Ovation and that kind of pisses me off as an Ovation fan. Anyway, the ad has always bugged the hell out of me.

I hate to stick my neck out, but I think it was good to have six in an ad. Most people in the world are not as profound as OFC members. Looking at it from the view of a kid looking for an acoustic/electric bass it was a good ad.

The timing was correct since they just embarked on a massive (and succesful) tour. Ovation was exposed to a TON of potential buyers easily influenced by their hero.
