Looking through the April issue, I didn't stumble across an old BP tradition--the April Fool's article. Did I miss it, or did you guys go serious on us this year?

Hi Steve,

Yeah, we dropped the ball with including an April Fools item this year. Sorry. We realized our mistake a little too late to make any changes and add something silly.

That is very disappointing. One of the first things I did when I got my issue, was to scour it for the "joke" . I actually accused FORGE amps of being the joke because of the over the top style of their ad. I've since apologized to Rick at FORGE ;\)

I guess you'll have to play a May Fools joke on us..

Well, at first I thought it was the Ritt Henn review (Ritt Henn--written, get it? oh never mind)
But then I googled him and he's the real deal.

Editors, you'd better not go all serious on us!

Was I the only one to think that 'Found! Jaco's Lost Bass' was a spoof when I first saw the cover?
