I'll bet my right hand that shop has more EBMMs than every store in Australia combined.

Well, Mark? Why don't you sell said left nut (I'm sure you could get a few bucks for it on Ebay Australia if the ex-wife with the oversized gash didn't blacklist your marketing plan) and start your own distribution biz and prove us all wrong?

Let's keep this thread fun, please?

It was a fun comment Beth - that is a veritable truckload of EBMMs. I've never seen that many in one place, other than in Musicman Nut's pics. Most I've seen in one place in person is the 4 at my house. Australia only has 25 million people, so it's no surprising that even the big EBMM stores only have 2 or 3 EBMMs on the wall.

Despite some opinions to the contrary, I'm not being an asshat in every single post I make.

Mark's right. We're hardly spoilt for choice here, just the facts. Those Japanese places, OTOH, look amazing.

Missed you by a couple of weeks, BP. I'll be back over there the second week of June. I was serious about Yamachan, great food and fun service.

Ah.. BP should have dropped me a line.

Oh wait... I'm just another anonymous Stingray player in Osaka, and he's Sterling Ball. OK.. never mind!

And as for those music shops, yep... we got 'em. The best part is getting to know someone who works for one of these places. Then you can get in after hours to have a "play".
