Catch 22 is Hooked on Ernie Ball

SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA (August 29, 2005) ? Billed as ?New Jersey?s most successful ska-punk combo,? the Ernie Ball endorsed Catch 22 has released five albums in the last nine years, the most recent being Catch 22 Live?a CD/DVD combination album.
"Putting out good music and having tons of people around the world singing and dancing at shows is the most important thing to us," says vocalist Ryan Eldred on the band?s website. The group has been touring and using Ernie Ball products for some time now.
?I've been using Ernie Ball strings for about four years,? said Patrick Calpin, guitar player for Catch 22 (pictured). ?They have always been there for me when I?ve needed them?I make sure I have them at every venue we play.?
Ernie Ball guitars have also become a staple for Calpin while touring. ?I've been playing the Ernie Ball Musicman Sub1 guitar ? for almost a year now ? and there are several different reasons I prefer the Sub1. I had played Gibson SG's and Les Pauls for years?I always had problems with them staying in tune. My Sub 1 stays in tune a lot better for a lot longer. The Musicman Sub1 is a great guitar.?
Ernie Ball was the first to offer rock strings with the creation of Slinkys, and further revolutionized the market by offering guitarists Custom-Gauge single strings. The Ernie Ball Company also produces Music Man guitars and basses, volume pedals, and other accessories. The company's strings and accessories are available in more than 6,000 music stores throughout the U.S. The company also exports to 82 countries.
