Just got back in from a week in Orlando. While I was there I visited the Happiest Place On Earth. Bass Central! (yeah I went by the place with the mouse, too). I should've taken a camera. That place was like Toys R Us for bassists. They had 7 Alembics in stock, including an Essence 5 string, a Brown Bass, a Stanley Clark Deluxe, a Rogue, a Mark King, and a super-sweet quilted maple Series II with pistol grip, front & side LEDs, heart omega, inlaid shell ornament. I didn't play it. I would have found some twisted logic to force me to buy it, so I chose not to take the chance. Anybody in the market for a new Alembic oughta check these guys out. One casualty of being down there a week....UPS tried to deliver my straps 3 times while I was gone, so now I gotta figure out when I can make the trip over to the depot and pick them up. Peace, James | ||

James, I only can copy your statement. The guys at BassCentral are first class. I bought my two Spyders from them and their service is really outstanding! Oliver (Spyderman) | ||

I'm with both you guys about BassCentral. They are all really knowledgable and their efforts to give great service never end. Beaver helped me make the deal of a lifetime - I owe him for it. The others are just fantastic too. But you know, the bottom line about BassCentral is this: Where else on this planet will you find three bass experts in one shop with names like Beaver, Grasshopper and Gard!?!?! I'll definitely stop and see them when I get to Orlando (Seems like everyone with kids does every few years, huh?). In all seriousness, though, anyone looking for an Alembic, especially if contemplating a custom built bass, should check BassCentral out. Bill | ||

I echo that as well. I bought some Euphonic Audio gear from them. Gard and Beaver really went to bat for me. I'd highly recommend them to anyone interested in bass or bass gear. stoney | ||

Stoney, yes everything is fine. Any new JE items? I gave Johns shirt (you know the one from your photo) as a gift to the drummer of Johns solo band. He was overwhelmed by this. I still have another shirt from John in my collection; and this will stay here. Oliver (Spyderman) | ||

No real news Oliver. That was nice of you to pass that shirt on to Steve. I'm sure he was touched by your gesture. Did you get your strap and your 8-string yet? stoney | ||

Stoney, the strap is in the make at the moment; the 8-string hopefully within the next two months. As also as one of John´s Ovation basses I bought. Oliver (Spyderman) |
