In Episode 5 of my new podcast, I interview Mr. Steve Lasko! We talk about Reston (Virginia, USA) and JangleBox and all kinds of neat stuff!

And look at the pic... he's holding my Sea Green 5002v58!

Nice one!

Very cool conversation, Jason! Thanks for sharing!

I bought an Original Used Janglebox from a Forum friend a couple years ago. He bought it new & it worked very hard for several years. Gigging regularly. After a few months it quit working.. I called Janglebox to get suggestions as to what it could be & what I should do. Who answers the Phone? Steve Lasko. I've heard he's a Super Cool Guy but had no idea how cool he was.

He said, "Send it to them & they'd take a look". So I did. They completely rebuilt to new condition & sent it back to me.. The cost was minimal but well worth it.. I got it back & it worked great, like brand new! I used it almost daily for the next couple years with no problem. It worked very hard over that couple of years. Then it went out again..

I loved the Sound of this Original Janglebox & thought I'll just get it rebuilt again. I called Janglebox. Who answers the Phone? Yep, Steve Lasko.. We chatted for a while & he told me about all the new things they were working on & new Products coming out in the near future.. I told him the situation & he said, it probably would't be worth it to rebuild it again.. And told about the new Janglebox's.. I told him I wanted to get another one & I opted for a 50th Anniv. Byrds model..

I wasn't expecting anything but he extended a very nice courtesy to me.. I won't say what. But, he didn't have to & I wasn't expecting any special treatment. Needless to say it was very nice & very appreciated.. And the 50th Anniv. Byrds Janglebox is every bit as good as the Original & maybe better...

He's good People in my Book!!! I recommend their Product & him as the best to do Business with..

Jason, catching up here and your interview with Steve Lasko is well done !
