Congrats on gettin' yerself "caught in the web". I owned Spyder 44/50 for awhile and agree - amazing instruments. Nothing else sounds quite like a Spyder. |

We were so happy to hear the bass arrived on time, Martin! Actually, the effort was largely Bob, James, and Mary. Bob came in on the weekend to spray, James stayed late to get the setup done, and Mary got the shipping organized and packed so that it could get to you safely. |

...and I'm so happy that it worked ... can't get my hands off that baby now, some kind of addiction took place :-) Will there be any better bass than this one on earth? Nope...and if in the future it only can be an Alembic! |

Fun video! Great basses and playing, Martin. But as "Bruce Dickinson" (Chrisopther Walkin) previously stated to Gene Frenkle (Will Farrell)..."it could use a little more cow bell. I gotta fever and the only prescription that will cure it is more cow bell!" http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/more-cowbell-with-will-ferrell-on-snl--video--saturday-night-live--nbc/n41046As |
