Me with Lars Mullen in Guitar and Bass Magazine

[FlatEric]

Hi to all in LBO land.

If anyone is interested. . . . . .

I have recently had the pleasure of working with Lars Mullen, of Guitar & Bass Magazine.

He has done a big feature on some of my collection, which is in the shops now.
Vol 25 No. 10.

3000 words, descriptions - stories behind them and lots of pics.
If you get a copy, I hope you will enjoy it. 



All the best.

Cheers.

I always buy this magazine, but this one not yet. It's hard to get where I live, but I'll visit Amsterdam this afternoon and I will take a look.

I like Eric's day in the sun...

I like Eric's day in the sun...

Factor 50, mate - if not, I go a funny brown colour - that's the trouble with
being a Yellow Puppet.

On a different note - I have been in touch with Peter, over the last few days - told
him that 3 of his beauties were in the mag feature.
He did say that maybe one day, he would go up into the loft and bring down
a load of archived stuff. . . . . maybe.
Would be great to see what else he did and who he did it for.

You never know - maybe part deux?

All the best.

Cheers.

Congratulations on the article. I've never seen that magazine on the stands here, and apparently it's $100 a year to subscribe so I hope they'll eventually put your article in the online edition.

Dave, Hi. 

Yes, the article does eventually go on line.

I have had several followers in parts of the world that have never seen the magazine - they
have also asked the same question.

I must say, however, it does look good on paper!
Something of a throw-back to when I used to rush into town in the 70's, to pick up my copy
of "International Musician" (anyone remember that?) and sit and look at the pictures.
The next time, I would read some of the more major stories and then pick it up again and
go through the minor ones etc, I could make it last several days.
A bit of a different experience from today's digital age! 

Cheers.

Now on line!

Looks so much better on the screen.

I bought the mag! Nice!

I have always loved the look of the Ibanez Roadstar RB920. I'm sure one day I'll find a nice one. Fender P general shape and 70's 3-tone burst, 2+2 headstock, Ric-ish binding and cresting wave horns, and MM-like sweetspot pickup.

Very nice article!

Great feature!!  Thanks for sharing it.

I love your collection.  When I started playing, a lot of that stuff was either new, or seen from time to time in stores (back when they were "used" basses... not "vintage"  ).  I remember really digging the MPC Outlaws, all the Ibanez stuff, and the Ovations (had a Mag I for several years... liked the Vipers/Preachers, and would still like to get ahold of a Breadwinner or Deacon).

Always facinated by your posts - still can't quite get a handle on you/your basses/your musical experience/your live performences - having said that, you are so right - those two RB's are animals!
Truly great basses and SO easy to play!

Very nice article! 

Thanks Dave - A thumbs up from you, is very much appreciated.

Hi.
As you know, there are SO Many great basses out there, that are Full of Life, that aren't from the usual suspects.
I have Fender, Gibson etc but there are so many more out there to enjoy.

Thanks guys.

Cheers. :L)

It might be interesting to get the PC Firebird and T'bird together at some point too... I don't get up to the midlands at all now with work but it would be fun to visit the collection... it was a great article, as is your blog...
