Tnx Stoney, I shall give your compliments to the webmaster. I myself am not so into the whole webdesignbuildingthing. Indeed our show is bags of fun to do, and it's also a way of living(?!) For all those out there wondering what it's all about, but can't understand the Dutch on my site, I'll try to post a photo here. It's a picture of me and my bass. See how great the flame koa looks, and what a wonderfull job the Alembiccrew did on the body.

Yea man...now that's what I call bass in your face

Ok, here's another one of me and my bass. And please no comments about the hairy legs. For your information; this picture was NOT taken in the time that Julius Ceasar ruled most of Europe, but in the time that Alembic was conquering the world (of bassplayers). And for the 'ladybassplayers': Yes, I'm wearing something under the dress....

Let's have a look at an Alembic at work. That's what they are made for, to spread the Alembic-sound all over the world. In this case; Holland.

He Hup, great looking bass!! Very nice multi laminated neck.... And I like the dark wood also very much. How's the new band going along?
Meanwhile, I've been very busy. The small update I got from Mica worked very well. (Tnx again!!) I've contacted my 'webmasteres' for perhaps a english version of my site. We're working on it. Perhaps I might add a 'Bass Gallery' , with pictures of most amazing basses in this galaxy..... I'll keep you'll updated. Till then: http://www.mattheus.tk

Good news for my beloved Spoiler. After a small rest in his case, I decided to pull it ou again. I played some other basses the last few years, but every now and then I took the Spoiler out of his case and everytime I was very pleased with the way it played and sounded. Right now I'm busy to do a big clean-up job. The bass has been played for years and that shows.... I've contacted Martin Sims, and he will place some LED's in the neck, so the bass will shine like ever before.

The big cleaning continues... Now I'm only wondering. What shall I do; respray the whole bass to make it look like new. Or leave the war-marks of many, many gigs and let the bass keep his history. For the looks I might like a newish look. But somehow I feel like erasing some history that I have with my Spoiler. Or is that just me being a silly bassplayer...

You know we need pictures to make the right decision for you ;-)

Good thing to bring her out again, welcome back!

mattheus · « **Reply #13 on:** April 28, 2009, 02:26:23 PM »

I should have known that.... always pictures...
I'm now preparing for a few busy days. Straight after that I'll take some pictures. It's a pitty that I didn't take any pictures of the bass with al the hardware still on it before I started the big cleaning. It was a real shame the way the bass looked.

Btw. I was never really away from this club! I peaked every now and then to look if everyone is still behaving.
