A lot of Alembicians play Acme speakers, so players down under might be interested to know that Acme speakers are now available in Australia: www.acmebass.com.au (http://www.acmebass.com.au)
There is a bit more to the story...
Some of you may remember that when I first joined this discussion group I was looking for a new bass rig. Based in large part on the enthusiastic recommendations of fellow Alembicians, I air freighted a couple of Low B-1s to Sydney - and was impressed. I figured that other Australian bassists would want to try them if they were available here. I had a chat to Andy Lewis and became the Australian agent (Acme's first agent).
Green Square Music (a the business is named) will follow the same business model as Andy - i.e. direct sale to end users with a 2 week trial.
Thanks Alembicians.
Congratulations and good luck with the business!!
Hey Dave,
I just talked with Andy last night and mentioned your post. He's really positive about what you're doing there. Best of luck.

Australian Alembicians,
The official launch event for Acme in Australia will be on Monday, 18 August.
Christian Young will be doing the technical demo. He is a fantastic bassist from NZ. The Jackie Orszaczky Trio will also be playing - comprises Jackie on piccolo bass, David Symes on bass and Hamish Stuart drums. You gotta love a trio with two bassists and one of Australia's best drummers.
Let me know if you would like an invitation - david@greensquare.net (mailto:david@greensquare.net) or (02)9341 2237.
I will be announcing another agency (and launch event) at the Acme launch that I think will interest you.
David.
