Members The Boogie Man Posted April 24, 2006 Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 A local music store gave us some free Crate amps and other stuff we promised them we'll use it on some gigs. But I'll still use my old equipment most the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alchemist Posted April 24, 2006 Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 Which Crate gear? Their V30 loaded cabs are great, the BV heads arent so bad, and a lot of their smaller amps sound great, its just the ocassional ones have reliability issues. If its free, who cares.

Members The Boogie Man Posted April 24, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 The contract sez' we must use the equipment for one full year for all public performances or we must return it and pay a rental agreement to the store. Our Manager did this without telling us and signed the agreement, the band is divided on the issue. I say he's as ass for setting us up this way, and want to fire him and return the gear. I'm happy with my own gear which is all vintage Fender and Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that defeats the purpose of endorsing the gear but people do it all the time. Makes no sense to me unless you're getting paid on top of endorsing the gear.

You should also consider firing your "manager" for signing something without your knowledge or consent. Doesn't matter if it's a seemingly beneficial deal or not.

Our Manager is new, we agreed to accept him when our last Manager sold our contract to this guy, due to health reasons. He's a Stooge and wants to make a big name for himself and buy and sell bands like cattle. He thinks since we do well on the West Coast circuit he can attract new younger bands to him and take a big commission off them. I don't know how he convinced a music store to do this but he can send it all back, or keep it for another band. I think the band agrees we'll dump him ASAP, if we fire him we'll have to pay him a 6 months commission, so were kind of stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
