FlatEric Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Hi to all in Basschat world. If anyone is interested. A couple of months back, I was very fortunate to meet up and work with Lars Mullen. He does a monthly feature on guitar collections, as well as a host of other things - the guy never seems to stop!!!!! So, today is the day - Guitar and Bass magazine, featuring some of my collection, is on sale, as they say "in most good quality newsagents. A really great person to work with, who is very passionate about his work. Top bloke! For fans of the unusual, it may be worth a read. Jon - plenty of Far East content, for you. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

jezzaboy Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Buy the mag every month as its the best, even though it has lots of those nasty six string things inside. I thought that was mabye your collection Mr Flat and stunning is the only word. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnyboy Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Nice one, I used to get it monthly, , but I haven't bought G&B be for a while. I'll be visiting a quality newsagent ( WH Smiths) later today - looking forward to reading it. Mr Mullen is indeed a top bloke & btw is a supporter of the BC Bass Relay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have "Sid" but that's not him - That is a Parkinson Precision. I'll do Sid next time, if given the chance to do this sort of thing again. Cheers.

skankdelvar Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Always enjoyed your blog. Well-deserved recognition for your splendid collection. Now to find a shop that stocks G&B - Tesco and Sainsburys seem to have given up on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeyboro Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Tis a good piece, and well deserved. I had an Ibanez Explorer like that once PS: Is it true Lars Mullen is a pseudonym too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatEric Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Ibby Explorer - a rare thing, indeed - you must have had the other one, in the UK. LOL! Nope, Lars is Lars is Lars! A real larger than life character - great bloke, with so much enthusiasm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatEric Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1402294046' post='2471679'] This, well done Mr Eric! [/quote] Thanks. I'm pleased with it. As with anything in print, it isn't [i]exactly [/i]what I said but very close. Had some nice messages and positive comments - it is my individual taste and as Lars said "there's a lot of brown!" I had never really thought of it until you look at the group shot but he's right! Maybe I'll get to do Part II, another time - it was a lot of fun to do and there are many that have not even been seen on the blog, yet. . . . . Next year? Cheers.
