They refinished the bass in Wineburst and restored all the hardware to "like new." I'm freaking out!

Congratulations. Do you have any pictures of what the bass used to look like?

I've loved the Wineburst finish ever since the Orion 5 that Alembic did about a year, or so, ago. This bass is perfect for it with a quilted maple top on maple body. Once again, I want to thank the folks at Alembic, they really go over-the-top to make the customer happy. Here's a couple of pics provided by the previous owner.

It is seriously making me consider doing the same thing with a sunburst or tobaccoburst finish. Reid- if you ever want to let this one go, please let me know. palembic Senior Member Username: palembic Post Number: 2434 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Monday, July 24, 2006 - 12:13 pm:    ohmawgohd ...that wine ...that burst ... rraymond Intermediate Member Username: rraymond Post Number: 187 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, July 26, 2006 - 7:31 pm:    !!! Way cool, glad you like it! Wineburst is a great variation on bursts and as is often said here, it looks better in person. Thanks!
