Hi Folks,
well I have three news to share with you:
1. there is a new german bass magazine just beeing published
     named Bass Quarterly
2. I am now working for them as a freelancing author. I will
    do reviews on basses, amps and effects from the next issue    
    on. Also I am asked to build up a vintage bass column.
3.Tears for John will get a double-sided photo feature in the  
    next issue.  
 
Many greetings from a happy Spyderman
Oliver

Congrats Oliver, that's great news in more than one way! I wish you and the magazine much succes. Hopefully I'll be able to track the magazine down, but I think the chance isn't that great in The Netherlands.

Wilfred,
well, if you don?t find one I could send you one then.
But Edwin was very interested in this, even in german language...

Hey Keavin,
this is a great idea!  Will come back to your offer....
Art,

Boy, that sounds like a job made in heaven for you Oliver.
All the best and keep up the excellent work.
Mike

Oliver,
as a german Alembic Fan (since I was 18 Years old an first listen to Stanley Clarke Songs and Sounds, this was 34 years ago) I look forward to read some storys about Alembic in Bass Quarterly.....

Ulf,
as said before, the first one will be the article on my Alembic Dragon Wing Tears for John, coming in the next issue.

Speaking of vintage basses?   http://www.vintageguitar.com/gallery/list.asp?catID=4

Wow, Keavin, there's three on that list that look JUST LIKE YOURS!!!!!!  What are the odds?  lol
 
Bill, tgo

well, my guess is: one is from our club member Keavin, another is from our club member Serialnumber12... but I haven't got a clue about the third  
 
Great news, Oliver, it was a pleasure to talk to you and the guys at Fuerth Festival, I hope to be in Cologne in August, and get the first Bass Quarterly issue asap. My wife was mighty impressed when she held TFJ in her hands... boy, you helped spread the seeds, I owe you a beer or two, LOL !
 
all the best, to all of you,
your Christian

Christian
of course I also have Peggy in my mind.
I am happy to have your wife inspired that it would be time
to give a another Alembic a new home.... :-)

Congrats Oliver!  If possible, I would love to see a picture of the magazine layout for TFJ.

Dave,
of course will post the article here.
It will be published on September 3rd.
