How does Buckeye Burl influence tone? |

Buckeye burl is a very light wood (think cork, or balsa), and would have very little effect on tone. Bradley |

Just imagine this one with continous wood on the pickups, like "The Lion's Roar".... ...time to water proof the keyboard... or get a bib. |

Hi guys! Thank you all very much for your kind words. What an honor this is to have my instrument chosen as a featured custom. Honestly, it continues to amaze me every time I pick it up. For the most part, the band I'm with just plays good old rock and roll, and the tone from this bass is phenomenal. I haven't taken my Tobias or Specor basses out of the cases since receiving it, and to be honest I don't see it happeneing for a long time, if ever Alembic completely blew my expectations out of the water with this beauty! Thanks again and best wishes to all, Todd |

Very nice. I love the black mop inlays. If my custom had been fretted it would have included them for sure. |

Todd..Stunning bass no matter what you play and I guess the Tobias and Spector fade to insignificance to it. Enjoy!!!!! |
