I'm a bit with Mark here.
An endorsement is not something that would be given without getting something in return.
In a past life I had an endorsement by a local company that was the local distributor for MI gear.
So the pickups in my Bass and the cabs I played through, and the strings I used, all cost me zip!
If you ever played Bass for a living and had to buy your own strings, back in the 80's, you would realise what this was worth.
I have had many problems with lots of brands, both up and downmarket, but I have also had a lot of success with both ends of the market.
If I was to get on my high horse and preach about the benefits of a brand I would not only be judging the actual hardware. To me, backup support and knowledgeable staff are worth more than a great piece of hardware by itself.
So to that end, I would probably nominate the EV, Dynacord, Midas and KT brands, as the staff at the local importer really know their products and actually seem to care about the final outcome.
A lot of other companies seem to be just interested in getting a sale.
My 0.02c worth (well actually, It would cost a lot more than that!
)
