Edwin jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 1804 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, June 16, 2008 - 4:32 am:    Congratulations Todd. Another masterpiece from Alembic!. graeme deburgh Junior Username: deburgh Post Number: 42 Registered: 3-2007 Posted on Monday, June 16, 2008 - 9:23 am:    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 bassjigga Advanced Member Username: bassjigga Post Number: 330 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Monday, June 16, 2008 - 3:33 pm:    Very nice. I love the black mop inlays. If my custom had been fretted it would have included them for sure. terryc Senior Member Username: terryc Post Number: 514 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Wednesday, June 18, 2008 - 7:05 am:    Todd..Stunning bass no matter what you play and I guess the Tobias and Spector fade to insignificance to it. Enjoy!!!!!
