I have spent quite a lot of time with acoustic, acoustic/electric, and I have a few solid body electrics. I am a fan of all types of music except Rap and Disco. I am no virtuoso, but am a highly motivated player. Alembic became my choice for a bass based on its long-standing excellent reputation for quality, attention to detail , and playability. I tried to "fall in love" with Fender Precision and Jazz basses, but couldn't! Although, I did purchase a Fender Mustang for my Grandson. Besides, I really like nice things and it seems that Alembic basses are at the top of the heap. I look forward to following the forum.

I forgot to mention that I jumped into Alembic kind of thoroughly. I got an Essence 4 30.75" scale and a Signature Standard 5 string with the 34" scale. lembic76450 Advanced Member Username: lembic76450 Post Number: 291 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, May 08, 2011 - 12:45 pm:    Welcome Scott, I think that a 30.75" Essence might be a bit of a rare bird, Pics please, of both, of course... redcloud New Username: redcloud Post Number: 5 Registered: 5-2011 Posted on Sunday, May 08, 2011 - 5:00 pm:    I only have an IPad with photos in that. I don't have a clue how to download them. They are still up in Will Gunn's website, though. My Son is learning to play guitar, yet he has Cerebral Palsy and I thought the short scale would allow him to noodle around some. rustyg61 Intermediate Member Username: rustyg61 Post Number: 196 Registered: 2-2011 Posted on Sunday, May 08, 2011 - 6:16 pm:    Welcome to the family Scott & congratulations on your new basses! jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 2912 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, May 09, 2011 - 4:30 am:    Welcome to the forum Scott.
