I really like the grain on this one! And I would like to add that Mica has once again produced a really nice feature!

I really like the inlays. I also own a Brown Bass and have been very happy with it.

Only Alembic has the touch to produce such a lovely instrument. What tone does Birch contribute? How does an oil finish hold up? keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 1057 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Monday, July 21, 2008 - 9:31 am:    For me the oil finish has held up fine. Alembic uses a polymerized oil so it doesn't require periodic oiling. All I do is give it an occasional waxing. There is a finish care section in the FAQ that discusses it.

It looks really magical! terryc Senior Member Username: terryc Post Number: 531 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 - 7:09 am:    Lovely bass, very retro. I noticed that it has two extra mini toggle switches, I know two will be Q's, one will be for LED's..what the last one for near the output..anyone know as it wasn't listed in the specs? jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 1845 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 - 7:12 am:    I'm guessing it'll be a stereo/mono switch same as the anniversary. Graeme keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 1058 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 - 8:55 am:    Graeme is correct the switch is for stereo/mono operation. The Brown Bass comes standard with Anniversary electronics.
