A very unique wood for the top and back laminates, and tasteful touches throughout; the overall result is just a wonderful example of an Alembic bass. Congrats Steve! smokin_dave Advanced Member Username: smokin_dave Post Number: 333 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Wednesday, July 06, 2011 - 11:06 am:    Oh Mama.....STUNNING. edwin Senior Member Username: edwin Post Number: 984 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, July 06, 2011 - 12:31 pm:    Amazing. I love all of the featured customs, but not all are ones I would play. I would gig this bass every day! I love the unclutteredness of the top with less controls and the side jacks. artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1539 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Wednesday, July 06, 2011 - 1:11 pm:    Steve, Congratulations on an absolutely beautiful bass.

MV, pan, and a p/up selector - interesting. I love that chocolate maple!

Congrats on a Beautiful Bass! s_wood Advanced Member Username: s_wood Post Number: 335 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, July 06, 2011 - 9:09 pm:    Thanks everybody, and especially thanks to the fine folks at Alembic for building such a stunning instrument for me. As you can probably guess the bass is even more stunning in person, and most importantly it sounds amazing! Edwin really hit the nail on the head - this is a gigging bass, meant to be played, and played a lot. I'm doing my best to do just that! edwin Senior Member Username: edwin Post Number: 986 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, July 06, 2011 - 9:38 pm:    You know, I'm actually heading more in your professional direction, albeit on the other side of the room. I just had my first trial yesterday as a defense lawyer (I'm going to be a 3L this fall) and managed a win! Nothing as heavy as a homicide, a simple misdemeanor theft. However, one of the things that made me very nervous was the fact that I spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday gigging with my Alembics! I'm glad to see other folks juggling similar endeavors. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 4898 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Thursday, July 07, 2011 - 7:01 am:    Love that chocolate quilt! Hmmmm, 'Lembics and law? I guess it can be done! Bill, tgo cje Member Username: cje Post Number: 77 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Thursday, July 07, 2011 - 4:56 pm:    That is a really, REALLY beautiful bass. Every time I see chocolate quilted Maple, I fall in love just a bit more. Congratulations on this fantastic instrument! rjmsteel Intermediate Member Username: rjmsteel Post Number: 161 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Thursday, July 07, 2011 - 7:42 pm:    Love the look of the Black pups and HumC with just the SII controls in that sea of Chocolate Maple Quilt! And YES - Series instruments are meant to be played: out for an audience to hear (what real clarity and punch sounds like!). -Rich pace Senior Member Username: pace Post Number: 747 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Friday, July 08, 2011 - 6:51 am:    Congrats Steve! Is this the first BalK you've ordered? How does it compare to the Europas?? hifiguy Advanced Member Username: hifiguy Post Number: 305 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, July 08, 2011 - 8:06 am:    YOWZA! This fellow lawyer just got a terrible GAS attack. Enjoy that bee-yootee-ful bass, Steve!! lidon2001 Senior Member Username: lidon2001 Post Number: 467 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Sunday, July 10, 2011 - 10:32 am:    Great bass Steve. I hope you enjoy it. My favorite neck combo. I'm still kinda partial to your fireburst Europa with the killer small quilt. Any chance we can get a finished pic of "The Red One" in the showcase? Thanks, T kimberly Advanced Member Username: kimberly Post Number: 362 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Sunday, July 10, 2011 - 11:50 am:    Lucky guy for sure! That is one awesome looking and I'm sure amazing sounding instrument! Congratulations Steve!

And you bought a "Killer Bass"? This is very suspicious... Nancy "Disgrace" would talk about this 24/7 if she found out.... Any way: ENJOY! What a fantastic instrument ! oujeebass Intermediate Member Username: oujeebass Post Number: 181 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, July 11, 2011 - 12:11 pm:    See..
