Vermillion! wow that must be a rare fretboard wood. This bass is absolutly amazing, both in appearance and sound design. I can get the lowest action I have ever been able to get with an Alembic bass to date. I want to thank the Alembic family for such a wonderful instrument. It has aged with grace. -Ed davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 2291 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, August 31, 2005 - 10:25 am:    Ed; I'm a bit confused. You've just purchased this bass?? oggydoggy Intermediate Member Username: oggydoggy Post Number: 132 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Wednesday, August 31, 2005 - 2:24 pm:    Dave, I bought it on August 16th, from Gruhn Guitars. I received it on the 18th. This is the bass that used to be Mr. O'Connor's, seen in artist section. -Ed hasadari Member Username: hasadari Post Number: 60 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Wednesday, August 31, 2005 - 5:53 pm:    I too am confused. See this link: http://www.todobajos.com/Stock/Bajos/HTM/AlembicI.htm Bob Brown hasadari@aol.com oggydoggy Intermediate Member Username: oggydoggy Post Number: 134 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Wednesday, August 31, 2005 - 7:25 pm:    Bob, That bass is not the one I have. So you are safe in that respect. The bass I do have (seen in the Artists and their alembics section under Mark O'Connor) is mine. I can plainly see the serial number 77-882, and mine does have the Vermillion fretboard which the one on the link does not. My advice to you would be to double check the serial number. -Ed BTW: The bass in the link looks grand!!! good luck let me know if you need more help. I wish I would have seen your post earlier on so I could have brought this to your attention sooner. kungfusheriff Advanced Member Username: kungfusheriff Post Number: 377 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Wednesday, August 31, 2005 - 10:02 pm:    Holy cow, you got that bass, ED? hasadari Member Username: hasadari Post Number: 62 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Thursday, September 01, 2005 - 3:37 am:    Ed, I appreciate the help.
