Finally, the Spyder 8 has arrived today.......
« on: October 06, 2004, 12:57:10 PM »
Hi Guys,
yes, with the Spyder8 it took longer than planned.
So now today it arrived and I could add it to the small family which is now represented by:
Spyder 4, number 4 of 50
Spyder 8, number 8 of 25
Warwick Buzzard Limited, Number 3
Ovation Elite acoustic bass, Johns personal one.
 
Next in the line will be the Dragon Wing.....
 
Pics will come at a later point.
I have to organise a digital cam.
 
Many greetings from Spyderland.
Oliver (Spyderman)

Congratulations! Great collection you have I'm looking forward to the photos. How about adding your Eden rig to the pics?

Oliver,
 
The wait is painful but worth it!  It's always great to see a fellow John Entwhistle admirer adding awesome axes to his collection and paying tribute to John at the same time.  Can't wait for the pics.

Congratulations Oliver! You are the consumate JAE collector on this site for sure. Perhaps you are only exceeded by those who encroached on Sotheby's with a large checkbook and a penchant for JAE. I imagine someday you'll make at least one of the elusive original OX Spyders your own.
Until then, enjoy what you got for many years to come.

Oliver,
 
   Congrats from a fellow Spyderman.  You are truly an Entwistle freak!  Hope you enjoy it and that it brings you many hours of happiness.

Congrats Oliver. Now go to the music store and get a can of 64th notes to feed her!

Hi Guys,
many thanks for the good wishes.
I never knew how great an 8string sounds.
It is really amazing and now I realise how
many times John used an 8string only as a backing part!
I will try to organise a digicam to take some photos. Attached a photo taken with my mobile phone cam for a first slight look.
Sorry for the bad quality.

Oliver, congratulations! Those Spyders look very scary lurking in the dark. I can understand why Paul has doubts about Bonnie's safety. Is the Dragon Wing thing 'in progress' already, or something for the future? A maple DW would certainly be the perfect partner for those mean Spyder machines!

Wilfred,
yep the DW is in progress now.
So the collection is slightly growing.  :-)
But there are still so many wishes.....
And of course main target is one of Johns
original Spyders...... :-)
