I play in a San Antonio named A Year For You. We play happycore music. We've only been playing for a few months together, but we already have a good sized fan base. Our drummer has been looked at for sponsorship, and he currently has a half endorsement with 7 drum works (or something like that). I'm dying to get my hands on a Fender bass, but money in the band is a little tight. I've played (not owned) a few Fender basses over the years, and I just love the tone and look of them! I posted on Fenders facebook not too long ago, but I thought maybe posting in the forums would be helpful too. Sorry If I'm blabbering... But I'll post links to one of our sets and our facebook.

I'd even be happy with a Squire sponsorship. I just love the Fender brand. Thank you for atleast viewing this thread!

I don't know but I want a Chevy Corvette sponsorship or maybe a green Camaro sponsorship. I like how they sound and look! The funds aren't there right now but maybe...... :D

it's all easy: practice, work hard, become famous and rich and fender will throw you them after... if you get one too many one day you may send it to me (as reward for the precious hint i gave!)

btw, "a year or two" would make more sense in that case...
:mrgreen:

Dont tell me you thought by participating in a Fender community forum you would be able to speak with someone about a sponsorship ? That somebody important in the Fender Co would be monitoring this forum looking for "FRESH NEW FACES" to give away free Fender prizes too ? AAAAH HAAAA! :lol: .
Sorry,thats the single funniest thing I have heard since joining,you must be joking. OX did you put him up to this ?.
If this is a real posting then I got news for'ya, Fender will give you a sposorship only if your rich enuff to not need it,look at some of its endorsees they already have and you tell me if a regular player like yourself gets the star treatment.
If it were that easy then some of these guys here who have been supporting this site since its early stages would all be sporting all the latest gear.
I am not trying to disrespect you I was'nt expecting this question,but at least you tried cause you'll never know till you try. BUT COME-ON NOW! are you for real ?
BUT I must say this,I dont like the type of music you guys play I must say as a band you guys are'nt to bad,sound is tight and alot of energy,ROCK ON YOUNGBLOOD! :mrgreen:
I WAS SO BE-FUDDLED I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THE N.I.C.P.,What was I thinking,they will probably endorse you no prob,maybe not with great gear but with travel,You see They float,and would love to allow you to float along too,BUT fear not"Even a broken clock is correct twice a day" :idea: .
Have a good-one buddy,its all in good fun :mrgreen:

Your pic kind of reminds me of Buckethead for some reason. You could be "Scribble Head"- Yeah that would be good-- Scribble Head. Has alot of mystique to it.

Hey Chef... The real fun is over at the FB group!
Come on man! :D


imo facebook sucks, they still find ways to deal with contents and keep users completely right-less*: it strongly remembers me on scientology... pretending good, doing bad!

*e.g. any copyright (pics/tone/writing) belongs to fb as soon as you share the content with other (and what the heck else you do on fb?); will say in any case they can use/abuse and deal with your pics, your music, your drawings and your speech: ANY!!!
