Dude, I must say that is one sweet bass. That has got to me my favorite Alembic body style. Nice Score, Dude. The more I look the more I want.
Why indeed! Despite the styling, that is one of two Alembic basses that I would actually love to own. The other is Greg Lake's old 8-string Omega-cut, and it's hanging in the London Hard Rock Cafe NFS. And no, the Warwick Vampyre doesn't look anything like either.
Hey Steve, we just missed out on a similar buckeye burl Series 1 5 model that's up on the Alembic site. It went recently for the amazingly low, low price of $15k! Sheesh.
[dissent] i don't care if it's an alembic, that is one dag-nasty bass. [/dissent] but it's not me who's buying it, and i appear to be in the minority anyway. enjoy that dream bass when you get your hands on it! robb.
