Only if they are in Holland. The rest of us see Oliver needing to sell a bass he doesn't really want to give up and lowering the price over time. | ||

It's a great bass but waaay out of my financial reach (even if my Sister in Germany would buy it...) I just hope the Dragon wing will be worth giving the 8 string up... guess so since this really is his custom project. Best thing would be if he could keep 'em both! note: I forgot to put -LOL- behind my last post... but then again there's nothing funny 'bout someone who is forced to part with his/her Alembic... So Here's a big CHEERS for Oliver! F.C. | ||

Guys, yep it is me and NO, I donīt want to have an extra K from the forum members. Bob, FC, it is really a financial problem therefore I lowered the price again on Ebay. And I would do this of course if anyone out of here is interested. I thought I could own several expensive basses but I canīt. Also now as our band is running really well we need much money to spend in there. And yes I count in my custom made DW "Tears for John" mainly. I also have another non-Alembic bass in the pipeline as well do I have a custom Status B2 which I play. The Spyders are great, no doubt, and believe me it really hurts letting them go but as I am no millionaire I canīt have anything I desire. Another thing that really attracts me could be a closer replica of the Spyder, like Alan is on with now. I will get an endorsement with Trace Elliot in August so then I also have some money free for new projects. And believe me, it really hurts.... Attached plse see a pic of me on the balcony with my Status B2, one of Johns original shirts and my custom made Boris necklace. What do you think? Oliver (Spyderman)  | ||

awesome! I love that Boris necklace, I belief I read somewhere that mr. Entwistle was acctualy afraid of spiders and that's where his obsession came from? I'm sure once your DW arrives you'll be too much occupied to think 'bout the Spyder. The $1000 was a joke of course, as mentioned in my last post. Good luck selling your bass... I really hope you will get top dollar for her! And I see you won't be left with empty hands. An exact replica of the spyder as in the Shepperton gigs is xtremely appealing... What a bass! The bass on yer picture is the latest Buzzard I guess? (have seen it before) Cheers! F.C. | ||
