My bass has more knobs than your bass!

[Axtman]

I saw this Alembic at a Solstice party I was at yesterday. It's an exact copy of Phil Lesh's Alembic modified Guild bass.

 

[Garret Graves]

I'd name it the Knob Goblin

 

[Stranger Danger]

I wouldn't say it's an exact copy but it's certainly an homage.

 

[Stranger Danger]

I wonder what they charge for that and how many years it takes to get it? Very cool.

 

[Ten Four One]

I think you win.

I wouldn't say it's an exact copy but it's certainly an homage.

Does Phil's bass have a compass on it? I could use one of those sometimes when I get lost in a song. "Is this the second chorus or third? Is the bridge coming up or another verse?"

That thing is pretty awesome. All it's missing is an on board Ampeg SVT and 8x10 cab.

 

[elgecko]

I'd agree that that's a knob or two.

 

[Squid-TEGH]

Mine has five. The model below it has three.
Do I get to feel superior, too?

EDIT: And they're "Black Nickel" not crappy plastic .

Those knobs are at the end of your fingers, and maybe in one other location. YMMV

 

[Hopi76]

Must've taken one hell of a rear route.

 

[Pimpernel Smith]

I could get by with just a volume knob.

 

[BrentD]

I'm pretty sure it has more knobs than a gentlemen-only drinking establishment.

 

[40Hz]

I don't hold a private pilot's license. So I wouldn't be allowed to play that monster.

 

[tuba_samurai]

Mine has no knobs....I need to add some knobs!!!

 

[Lo-E]

I'd agree that that's a knob or two.

Please tell me this belongs to Nigel Tufnel!

I'd agree that that's a knob or two.

That must be a nightmare, it would take more time to learn each knob's function, then to actually learn to play bass... imagine you're on a stage with bad lights and you need to move one of those
