second show

everything went well. what a nice venue in luxembourg - no reflections from the walls in the venue, great sound devices from l acoustics that did a great job in producing a killer sound. actually, it was my birthday and everybody got involved in singing happy birthday which was quite nice. mike: you were smoking, again. ... pause NOT!
cheers from prag, oliver

about to start the tour

yesterday I arrived at the Belgian hotel where I had the chance to meet band and crew for the first time. nice dinner and chatting but then: going thru the songs with guitar player alex for the first time. always a very special experience - no amps, just dry string steel sound. now I know that I am well prepared and can jump into the rehearsals with a grin on my face.

cheers, oliver

Eastern Europe with Tarja

Great to read that I will be touring with Tarja and her stellar line up. Hope to see you on tour! Ah - my first time in Israel, this is far beyond great.

Time to rehearse!

2 Out

is there anybody to share the great experience of having two outputs on the bass guitar? like alembic and rickenb. used to do it?

personally, I see no real alternative to it. my bass is modified with two outs, consequently.

hitting roads

again, this week will see me touring with blind guardian. my two sandbergs plus my pedalbag and I'm ready to go. just received a new strobo tuner by peterson which is an amazing tool to perfectly tune my instrument. highly recommended!

regards from somewhere on the road, oliver
