Ted,

your point about needing to let mags know what you want to read is a VITAL
one, and it does make a difference... It's also worth emailing the 
companies
that those players have deals with, as they can request interviews with the
magazines that they advertise with, and have a bit of clout too... :o)

So anyone wanting to email Bill Leigh at Bass Player magazine on my behalf,
go right ahead! :o)

editor@bassplayer.com I think...

cheers

Steve
