eBay auctions: 2 issues of Guitarist magazine
« on: May 06, 2003, 06:53:47 PM »
Was just searching eBay for "ashbory bass" in the headers and body text and up popped to Guitarist magazines from Great Britain that feature reviews of the Ashbory Bass.

Guitarist Magazine - Chet Atkins - Jan '91  
Item # 3518605293

Guitarist - Sept '87 - Andy Summers.  
Item # 3518538407  

FYI and for what it's worth.

I bought the '87 mag, already had the '91. I've also got a couple more articles/reviews in other copies of the same mag, plus another more recent article in Guitar Buyer. Brock, would you be interested in scans of them to put on the site?

I'd love to add stuff like that but it's under copyright. If they're still publishing, I could try to contact them for clearance, maybe offer to link back to their site. It's not as though they get much worth out of these articles over a decade after being published. If I can get them cleared, I'd really enjoy having scans of those articles. Thanks for the offer.

I'm working on an article for left handed Ashbory conversion right now. The next thing I have in mind is to contact the luthier guy who made the acoustic bass (not the Uke, have that now). That sounds entertaining.

Here's the 'Artifacts' stuff I don't have but would like to have:
1. The Guild instruction papers (can't find mine)
2. DeArmond promotional slicks (Fender doesn't have any)

Thankfully these are elsewhere on the net and can be found with some hunting, but it would be nice to have them in highres form here. I can't find my Guild papers ( :( ) but I have the LargeSound.com Ashbory Users Guide up in PDF form now. Thanks go out to the OpenOffice.org team for adding PDF support!

Something else that would be choice is a Guild ad for the Ashbory.

If anyone has anything like this, please send an email to brock@largesound.com!

Thanks.
