Hi Folks,
well I have three news to share with you:
1. there is a new german bass magazine just beeing published
named Bass Quarterly
2. I am now working for them as a freelancing author. I will
do reviews on basses, amps and effects from the next issue
on. Also I am asked to build up a vintage bass column.
3.Tears for John will get a double-sided photo feature in the
next issue.
Many greetings from a happy Spyderman

Congrats Oliver, that's great news in more than one way! I wish you and the magazine much succes. Hopefully I'll be able to track the magazine down, but I think the chance isn't that great in The Netherlands.

Speaking of vintage basses? http://www.vintageguitar.com/gallery/list.asp?catID=4 (http://www.vintageguitar.com/gallery/list.asp?catID=4)

Wow, Keavin, there's three on that list that look JUST LIKE YOURS!!!!!! What are the odds???? lol
Bill, tgo
-
well, my guess is: one is from our club member Keavin, another is from our club member Serialnumber12... but I haven't got a clue about the third
Great news, Oliver, it was a pleasure to talk to you and the guys at Fuerth Festival, I hope to be in Cologne in August, and get the first Bass Quarterly issue asap. My wife was mighty impressed when she held TFJ in her hands... boy, you helped spread the seeds, I owe you a beer or two, LOL !
all the best, to all of you,
your Christian

Christian

I am happy to have your wife inspired that it would be time
to give a another Alembic a new home.... :-)

Congrats Oliver! If possible, I would love to see a picture of the magazine layout for TFJ.

Dave,
of course will post the article here.
It will be published on September 3rd.
Oliver (Spyderman)

WOW ! Bass Quarterly was delivered today, and it has a very cool double feature on Alembics...
not only that Oliver and TFJ are presented on two pages, but there is also a very nice test report of a Rogue 5, written by noone else but Klinkepeter. Great !
...please excuse me for the next few days
-
Any new news senmen???
-
Keavin,
oops, sorry, totally forgot about this.
Will try to scan the article....

Guys,
I hope someone could help me with this.
I now have this file to upload of my article, but it is a PDF with a size of 18MB!
Anyone knows how I could make it to the size to put it up here?
Sorry, have not photoshop or so.

Oliver, I know a little about computers and software, but not too much. It would probably help if you tell us what kind of computer you have. Do you use Microsoft Windows Xp? Vista? Mac?
If you use XP (and maybe Vista) you can try this... Open Windows Explorer and locate your PDF file. Right-click on the file and select Send To -> Compressed (zipped) Folder. I tried this on an 11MB PDF file, and it turned it into a little under 3MB. That's probably still too big to post here, but you should be able to email this file to a few people if you (and they) have a high-speed Internet connection.
If you only have a few pages in the PDF file, another way using Windows is to make a JPEG of each page using the Paint software tool.
Open the PDF so you can see the page.
Then simultaneously press the Alt and Print Screen keyboard buttons.
Then open the Paint software tool (Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Paint).
Then simultaneously press Ctrl and V. This will put a copy of the page in Paint.
Then save it as a JPEG (File -> Save As and select JPEG under Save as type)
I hope that helps.
Mike
