Wow..it's great to see all these cool features explained, and I know this has got to be one of the longest waits for an Alembic ever. I'm glad this one finally made it to you. What a truly unique marriage of caftsmanship and design! Monty will be blowing some minds for sure if you take him gigging! P.S. There's a joke in here somewhere correlating the "suspension bridges" with "huge...tracts of land," but I'm not clever enough to make it happen tonight. | ||

It's a beaut! Love the double cutaway body shape too. I'm sure she's great to play as well. Congrats! | ||

Exceptional instrument! Sheep do not so much fly as plummet. Fetche la mush....Fetche la mush! Act of the purest optimism to suggest it in the first place. Do you in fact have any cheese at all? No sir, I was deliberately wasting your time. | ||

Oh, look - there's a penguin on the monitor! No, wait, it's a black bass (let's hope it doesn't explode!). Very nice! The "suspension bridge" seems to me to be about the most elegant thumbrest ever - and it's even mirrored for the lefties! I've heard custom bike bulders talk about "effect customs" (paint & chrome and little else) and "detail customs" (where you do things like relocate the oil line fixtures on the cases to get your look). This is most definitely a detail custom. Congrats - its COTM status is most deserved. Peter | ||

Congrats, again, Marc! It's an awesome bass, and it continues to impress every time I see it! Congrats again on joining the "Custom of the Month Club"... your awesome custom is one of the most distinctive and original Alembics ever! I like the "Night Rider" comment! I totally see it... especially with the LEDs! All it needs is to capacity to talk to you in a gay voice! |
