discreet Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Having far too much time on my hands I mailed EBS to see what EBS stands for. I thought it stood for 'Efekt Bass System'. This is how it went: [b]Me:[/b] Silly question really... I was told \'EBS\' stands for \'Efekt Bass System\'... is this true? Thanks very much Mark [b]EBS:[/b] Ha ha, Yes, it is, actually. Here's the story... Back in the 80's when Bo and Mats registered the company, they decided to call it Effect Bass System (EBS). However, it turned out somebody else had already registered that name - they still wanted to keep EBS as the short name, so just to get the application through, they changed the spelling to Efekt Bass System. The word Efekt does not spell that way in any real language. However, with time, it makes little sense to use that, so the official version became Electric Bass System. Personally, I prefer the version that one of AC/DC's crew members came up with: -EBS, wtf is that?! Expensive Bass sh*t? /Ralf, EBS Let it never be said that those who work for commercial enterprises don't have a sense of humour!
