And yes Gav C ... for me at least it's the Vintage ads that I find ham fisted and seriously wide of the mark. I recommend Vintage regularly, and have done several 'how to' articles devoted to improving the electrics and replacing the pickups on, what are essentially very reasonable instruments for the money. My own V100 demos boutique PAF style pickups and gets played by an awful lot of musos ... it has impressed a lot of them and got you some more sales ... and I'm not even asking for commission

Just playing a bit of 666's advocate
On more than one occasion an endorsee will put me off an otherwise decent bit of gear. Squier Vista Venus - okay it's Courtney Love, but it was endorsed by Krispin Mills so nothanksverymuch. The recent Ibanez Roadcore - a smart twin humbucker offset, but it's endorsed by YouMeAtSix guy.
Well I suppose it does keep Midge Ure off of god awful 'talent shows' like 'Pop Star Opera Star.

Re demos, ola is excellent, as is the Duncan pedals range. They use a full live band!
I was/am, and genuinely prefer it to anything else I've had (otherwise it wouldn't be my main bass), hence approaching Gav about the endorsement (cheers mate!). I've since aquired (paid for ) a V880 electro-acoustic as well, which I'd also take above anything else I've played in that price range, and should one of the bands I'm working with start nudging their way up the rankings again I'll be rocking the Vintageseseses with them. Unless it's the one I'm drumming in
I think the difference is that I didn't go looking for freebies (or even reduced stuff), and if Gav had said 'thanks but no thanks' I'd likely still be using the V96. If he'd told me to go fuck myself I might have switched brands
