It was bound to happen! Follow us on Instagram to see various interesting things. Lots of stuff I'll put there doesn't quite fit in the Club, so it should be fun.

Been enjoying seeing the pics in my Instagram feed! Not sure how many people here at the Club are on Instagram, but it's fun - the filters can give your pictures a different look - and don't forget to tag your pics #alembic #alembicbass etc.!

<blush> I don't know what instagram is and vaguely aware of hashtag - but not sure how it works. . . .

I also don't own a cell/smart phone, which I believe is somehow related? I think I need a pre-teen in my household to get me up to speed with technology. <\blush>

I look at Instagram as a fun way to be able to post pictures - definitely cellphone/smartphone related.

You should be able to look at the Alembic Instagram page on your computer though - Mica has been posting some really cool stuff!

Also a no cell/smart phone owner here, I hate those things. (tried to fix my Dad's, almost ended up smashing the damn thing) :-) Not for me...

I would like to follow the Alembic instagram and be able to comment though, any way to do that from my trusted old Laptop?

Great pics btw, keep 'em coming! :-)

No way to comment unless you are a Facebook or Instagram member.

From Instagram I believe you can join via your Facebook account - Instagram was acquired by Facebook within the past year or so - come over to the dark side... (insert Darth Vader emoji here)

I did a search and it seems you must first make an account through an app on a phone, then you can log in with your facebook account...

It's highly unlikely I will get a phone in the next 80 years, so that means only viewing for me until they change their policy... :-(

For those without Instagram, I'll slip a pic or two on this thread to help keep you up to date!

Uncle Sam Logo Inlay

This is a cool inlay we just popped in a Further peghead today. Every little piece is hand cut, even each individual tooth! This looks so amazing in person, and it looks pretty awesome in the snapshot from my phone.

hello mr flip,
there is a workaround to not having a phone, you need an emulator that will run the app on your desktop machine. The popular one appears to be bluestacks, looks like they may want a small subscription fee. I can't tell if there is a trial period or not. There might be other programs too.
Looks like google has an emulator in their developer package, which is free, here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

You would only need the emulator once, to install the instgram app and then sign up using your facebook. After that you just use the desktop.

Beautiful guitar, nice rich color in the Cocobolo. Especially like the thin pinstripes in the neck laminate. Someone is going to be quite happy.

Alembic on Instagram is the best thing that happened to social media. But it has to continue to be shop shots and not just "of the month" kind of stuff.
The more in progress the better.

Not for Rami - this one has ever more Ebony than his basses. I think it's only the second instrument with Ebony as the primary neck wood. It's gonna be very special :-)

Well, it's an Essence, so it won't be as heavy as it could be. What I expect is ridiculous fundamental sustain, massive bass response, and a weigh-in of about 11.5-12 pounds.

I’m smiling at the wedge under the clamp. You got unique materials laying around – you make unique wedges – with accent laminates. I love the details.

(ps. This could be a novelty sale item – everybody has a door wedged open – now you can do it with style. I’m just saying…)

+1 on the shots from the shop. If I ever make it back out to California, I'd love to visit there... *eventually* I'd get to the showroom, but the shop is where the cool stuff happens!
