Been speaking quite a bit with Brad about this whole deal...

[James Lugo]

First thing I gotta say is Brad really has his heart and his business sense in the right place. Brad is a real dude, no bullshit. I hope for everyone involved this deal goes through. My heart goes out to those who sent money in good faith. You guys are at the forefront of Brad's mind. I think with Dave and Rob on board it's the dream team. I can't wait for this to pass and for everyone to be at peace, this has rocked a lot of people I call friends and has really hurt me deeply.

If it all works out there will be alot of sales and I think time will heal all the bad feelings.

Look at the thread above this one.

Read through that whole thing. Wow. Brad is really trying to raise that phoenix from the ashes. Good for him and I hope he succeeds...excellent karma for him, if he's able to do this and get those people their amps that paid for them. Some of the posts from the haters are pretty pathetic.

It is encouraging to see some guys that are already doing well with their own gigs step up here. Im sure cash is king but Im also sure the human element of helping someone thats been in this game a long time out of a jam is present too.
I hope that Marks compensation here will be what it needs to be for him to actually sit back and design without having to look for other work. It seems to be constantly overlooked and frowned upon here when Mark has to make a quick sale or do a mod so he can pay his rent and stock the fridge (you know so he actually had somewhere to make amps). Im probably shooting myself in the foot for getting anything modded in the near future but if he didnt have that stress he could better perform the role Brads says is layed out for him with this deal. People will take much less than what something is worth when they have to vs. when theyre doing okay and I hope that this wasnt taken advantage of. Again, Brad you seem like a straight shot and youll definately have a chance to show it but for now lets face it we're on the fucking internet where no one really knows anyone... just saying. Although if lugo here says your alright then you can stay Love to meet you some time James Mark said you were one of the good guys when he was hinting at borrowing my Bassman he did for me for your amp show (Sorry had 3 gigs that week).

Mark said he was one of the good dudes? well guess what Mark is not one of the good dudes, so I don't know how you could take advice from someone who year after year cheated and scammed people out of their money.. And be it not for what Brad is doing the guy would still be ripping people off or getting his ass kicked by people who got conned...

 

[AmpliFIRE]

Did Brad meet up with Mark in Cali yet?

 

[Audioholic]

Really, it comes down to having a good business sense, and knowing that its a potential to make good money on a good product. Hopefully that works out for Brad as it would allow more access to a great amp. I know I never would wait that long, or put my money in Cameron's hands personally. I just don't have that much cash flow to kiss it goodbye

James

I gotta say again that it is beyond cool of him to try and make this happen for those waiting on an amp. When you conduct yourself like this, you will be succesful at whatever you do.

He has earned my respect and whenever I'm in the market to buy gear that he carries, I'll be sending my business his way.

Look man. I dont know anything about you and I dont care to. The only person Ive had any dealings with here is Mark and theyve gone off fine, so I comming from a different camp. Advice? I was shooting the shit with him at his place about the amp fest and he mentioned James was a great guy. How could that possibly compute in your brain to needing a retarded response like yours. Seriously just because you CAN speak doesnt mean you SHOULD! Theres plenty of people on this site who feel as you do that arent sick and tired of hearing your very well thought out replies so go play that hide the sausage shit with them and leave me out of it! Thanks a bunch asshole.

John 1, I find it a bit weird that your concern is for mark an not those scammed over the years, it sounds as though u actually blame those who sent cash n amps for mods for "putting added stress on mark". Also, questioning brads motives , who is the one guy giving Cameron a chance at salvaging his ruined rep an co an who is many guys here only shot at getting the amps they paid for, is out of line as is calling nico an asshole. I have seen guys sell their soul for a hit an most times they have no one to thank but themselves. Let's thank brad an hope this works out for all instead of questioning him:.

... Well joepete I honestly cant put into words how much I dont care about what you make of what I say. Espescially after you butcher every word of it. The stress I was referring to was that of making ends and paying bills. Would you sell someone thats helped you down the river because of his dealings with others you dont even know? I dont do the fair weather friend thing guy its not my scene. I get pissed because if your not slamming the guy than somehow that makes you part of the problem or an enabler or (my favorite) a sub con. As far as Brad goes, I dont question him at all he layed it out crystal clear, but this is business and in business you capitalize when you can to get the better deal, I simply stated that I hope mark got a deal too and you guys got all huffy. Twist it around all you want just know that your going somewhere Im not with it.

Hey for all I know James wasnt even talking about Mark with what he said and I (quite by accident) made it seem that way. From how Mark was talking about the guy I just ASSUMED they were friends. So dont lump him in with me quite yet guys.
