Very nice guitars, but you know what I'm going to ask don't you? ;)

Customer has the Spyder bass now (in Germany) - he's in a Who tribute band

Sent me a picture of him with it and a cool comment
Quote
Hi Jonathan,

had the first rehearsal with the Spyder yesterday.
It was really jawdropping, both for the guys but also for me.

The sound is simply awesome.
It has a definite Spyder sound, with maybe a bit more bottom, very thunderous if you want.
But due to the Buzzard electronics it is much more versatile than the Alembics.
A wooden Alembic sound but with all the variety and possibilites of the Buzzard electronics.

And it is much more sensitive to my different fingerstyles and positions.

Thanks so much again for this.
We have to think about the next project......



I'm well chuffed naturally!

The picture and the message are both great- well deserved praise methinks.

Isn't that the best possible thing for a custom guitar builder to hear?  :D (I may be about to say the same thing... ;))

There's something 'odd' about a German in a Union Jack jacket   :?  :lol:

Tut tut tut, That would be "Union Flag jacket", it's only a Union Jack at sea :)

Sorry it's a piece of information I picked up from Dr Who and it's the first chance I've had to use it :D

Looks like Dr Who may not have it right, it was 'officially' changed in 1908,

Interesting, thanks for the info. Thankfully my faith in the Doctor remains as it was Rose Tyler who came out with it, I mean you can't trust anyone who's had a previous relationship with Chris Evans can you?  :D

On topic though I love the work that's gone into the bass, I'd love to see some more thru-neck Felines, maybe some of their superstrat style guitars.

Very nice, I've always admired your eye for good woods.
