Hi Guys,
I just contacted the HRC in Berlin to make an appointment to get detailed photos on Johns Spyder bass that was located there. Unfortunately they have moved this piece to the HRC Vault in Orlando.
Paul TBO, I am sad now, you can stow away the stockings........ :-)

Don't cry brother Ollie,

to my information, that vault is very badly garded.
So ...we can hop on a plane and take two stockings with us.
Maybe we have an assitant brother over there in Orlando????

Paul,
we could take Beaver of Bass Central into the boat. They are located in Orlando.......
They moved it to the Vault due to the high amount the other Spyder has brought at the Sothebys auction.....

Oliver, do you know who the contact person would be? Maybe your contact in Berlin could help set something up. I'm about three hours away from Orlando. Of course Beaver would have more clout but I'm here.

Sam,
I already had gotten photos from them last year as it was still in Berlin. I phoned them up today to ask if I can get more detailed photos and to have it measured out (I need the exact details) and then I heard the sad news. Will try another contact, but Berlin was soooooo close...
