Wow, that's a cool anniversary! Ever wondered how (and with who) old #12 lived in pre-Keavin times?
Anyway, congratulations!

Keavin,

That bass is probably the absolute coolest looking alembic ive seen. I love the customs shown on here, but 'ol# 12 looks like shes got tons of soul...

25 years ago I could only dream of playing an Alembic - I was stuck with my '79 Fenderbacker..

Keavin, congratulations. What's twenty five, is that the silver anniversary? That's something that you remember the date.
Here's to 25 more!

Sam, I think I had the same impression of the photo. Immediately I said, "That's Robbie Krieger."
BTW, Sam, I see you're in Jacksonville. Do you know of a singer/songwriter named Tom Shed?

Congrats!

You and I are a rare breed. I have a Blacknife S/N 00007. We go back 34+- years! The only good thing about getting old is the guitar!

Keep on Rockin!

I thought I saw some links to mp3 that Keavin posted somewhere; can't seem to find them on the search now. I finally got some speakers on my computer and would love to hear that funk! Help.
