Engl Endorsement?

bulb · 07-24-2007, 03:22 PM

So this is kind of a long shot, but hell it doesnt hurt to try!
I want to buy an Invader 100 to run alongside my Powerball, and i figured i should try and find out what i need to do to get endorsed (or at least considered) since any amount off of the price would help my poor ass haha, and since i love engl amps more than anything else i would happily play them exclusively!

I know quite a few of you are in pro bands/are already endorsed, how should i go about approaching this (is it even worth trying at this stage since i am not signed nor am i playing hundreds of shows a year?). Any advice in general or specific about this would be appreciated muchly, whether its from someone who just knows how these things work or from anyone who is actually endorsed by them. I know little about how all this works/how i should even approach this, so any relevant info would definitely be useful!

Thanks so much dudes!!

Send your press kit, tour schedule, reviews, and and demo to the company.

Honestly, though since you don't play out much, it isn't likely. If you already know someone, you'd have a good chance, but then you wouldn't be posting here.

Also, endorsements from amp companies generally do not save you a lot of money. My band has a few endorsements, including peavey, Eden, and others. We did get a free XXX head from peavey, but we had to buy a cab to get the head. Now, we get an artist discount, but it's only a a bit less then what retail outlets discount the stuff for, and you have to wait a very long time to get stuff straight from the manufacturer (it took 10 months to get a bass from Washburn).

Your BEST bet is to go to NAMM, and grease a bunch of palms, meet people, pass out your stuff, but more importantly hook up with someone who has been there and knows people. We got about 4 new endorsements last year doing that.

^ What he said.

nice, i would love to go to NAMM of course, but i will have the head by then either way haha, the reason i got interested is because my friend's band just got endorsed by them (they are a uk band though) but they get 25 percent off the price, which would be amazing for me! Also if they go overseas they then get 75 percent off, the one guitarist did have to buy a cab, but i figure in my case i would just buy the head and it would be a win-win situation.

The discount is off of list price. You'd be hard pressed to find a reseller who can't get you %25 off list here.

I'd say your best bet is to get in touch with the distributor(s).
