In the videos for "Raspberry berret" and "Mountains" the bassplayer is using a white Alembic spoiler with flower graphics. and in the video for peach, the lefthand bassplayer is playing a Black Alembic again a spoiler but then with a huge amount of pots, flipped over. were these two custom jobs? kmh364 Advanced Member Username: kmh364 Post Number: 319 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Saturday, August 14, 2004 - 7:31 am:    Mica has also stated previously here on the site that Prince has several Alembic Custom guitars of his own, but they are all sans Alembic logo as per His Royal Purpleness's wishes, LOL! susan Moderator Username: susan Post Number: 58 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, August 16, 2004 - 7:47 am:    Regarding the "sans Alembic Logo", the instruments were sold with logo's. Prince made his alterations after the fact. He also removed company logos from all his equipment. -susan
