Before applying to become an EBS Artist. Please read thoroughly through the information below.

 

What does an Endorsment with EBS mean?
An endorsment with EBS basically means that we believe your success as a musician/band will benefit EBS business and inspire potential customers to invest in the gear. An endorsment means an Artist Discount on purchase of gear. In addition to that, tour support can be added as an extra service.

 

Why doesn’t EBS offer free gear to artists?
Like many other high-end brands, we do not offer free gear deals to artists. The reason is simple, we build professional equipment for professional musicians and we want dedicated artists as reference players that share our faith in EBS as the best sounding gear available rather than just playing whatever free gear they can get their hands on.

 

 

If you don’t care what you play as long as it is free, EBS is not the company
you should work with.

 

 

Do I/my band qualify for an endorsment? Do I need an endorsment?
There is a couple of reasons why endorsments exsist. Companies need respected top musicians to represent their equipment to emphasize the quality of the gear – if it is good enough for these players, imagine what it can do for you! On the other hand, hard working musicians need companies to support them to make their daily work as touring and recording artists a bit easier. If you are a hard working and successful musician, ask this to yourself...

 

1. Do I/my band tour and/or recording frequently?
(+150 gigs/year, busy session work with reknowned artists)

 

2. Are a lot of people paying attention to what I do?
(record sales, MySpace visitors, fanclubs etcetera)

 

3. Am I seeking endorsment mainly because I need the support of a bass amp/pedal company
to make my work smoother?

 

4. Finally, am I ready to invest something to get the best bass sound available?

 

5. If you said no on the first two questions, what else makes you stand out in a way
that EBS will benefit from supporting you?

 

If you reply ’yes’ on most of the above questions there is a good chance you will be accepted for an endorsment. If not, you need good reasons to convince us what makes you stand out.

 

What are the terms if I become an EBS Artist?

The terms for an agreement is subject to negotiation, but generally a three year commitment to use the gear exclusively (amps and cabinets) is required, and the right for EBS to use your name and picture to promote EBS products when suitable. A pedal deal does not require exclusivity, but it requires that the artist use the equipment frequently. We expect the artist to represent the company by showing appreciation in album covers, posting links to EBS website on their websites, using the equipment as much as possible on stage and mention the gear in interviews etc, etc.

 

All EBS Artists also have the right to have their profile posted on the EBS website and being considered as part of the EBS family!
