I just got it. Looks like a great issue on first scan.
I was surprised and pleased to see a face I recognize from the forum: Jason Atkins, aka. Gospel5theZealot! I was expecting BGO, but maybe next time.
I was disappointed with the siliconed in Ampeg flyer, that on removal ripped the page it was glued to (I HATE those things; they've been in bike magazines for ages now)! But other than that the content looks great.

I haven't received mine yet. Always look forward to it. I guess now that Jason is famous we won't be good enough for him.

hmmm, have only just got febuarys here !!
cheers
craig.

Juan from the mars volta is on the cover, im stoked about that. Congrads on getting in it though.

I finally subscribed tonight, no more buying for the bloody new stand. wooooooo!

Got mine last week. Just started reading it. Not sure how I feel about the aesthetics of the layout.

Definitely cool to see a tech column from Dan Erlewine (although I haven't read it yet).

Great to see Monsieur Atkins representing the LDL!

The article on James Brown's bassists looks promising.

Peace.

Got mine Saturday,Got a chance to skim threw it
saw the Introduce yourself deal,pretty cool.
Thanx for the tip on taking the Ampeg catalog out.

I read it. I need to review and give a formal review. So far I agree that the Ampeg catalog was poorly placed (in the middle of the James Brown article), I like what they've added, and I like the aesthetics. I liked the article on JB's bassists. But I still want to crawl through it like a good analyst. Herrera made me promise to do this before he'd send me that "bass terms" article.

Of course having Gospel5theBigHeaded ( )in there is great, and hope to see BGO (and more of you folks) soon.

(actually, Mr. Herrera only asked for our opinions )

I really like the new look! Fresh and streamlined. The web site overhaul is great and overdue!

Just got mine last night. I believe I like the new look and am looking forward to reading. I was happy to see the review of the Variax bass. Between the worship team at church and the friends I gig with, I need to be able to go from 60's rock/pop to modern rock and R&B to some jazz and country. Sometimes I need to make big changes very quickly. That Variax bass looks promissing to me. If only it was a five string...
