This would have the perfect tone to complement my current Alembics. I am sure that it can do everything my current instruments can't! -bob jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 1401 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 01, 2009 - 3:14 am:    Wow, at that price you'd think they would include drawing pin strap buttons and a black sharpie marker pen neck laminate stripe least. I wonder if this is the first fretless model Alembic has released?

OK!!.........I got fooled before I realised the date D'OH!!!! dfung60 Advanced Member Username: dfung60 Post Number: 379 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 01, 2009 - 6:30 am:    Alembic wimped out here! If you really want to show off the striping of the exotic corrugated ultralight material, you really need to bookmatch the top. It takes a steady hand to slice through the center of the top, but when you lay it open and reveal the beautiful matched striping it's all worth it. Maybe THG can make some bubble wrap knobs for this to really finish it off properly!

This is great! benson_murrensun Intermediate Member Username: benson_murrensun Post Number: 118 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Wednesday, April 01, 2009 - 1:18 pm:    Hey - a one-string guitar. Maybe I can learn how to play it if it only has one string. keurosix Advanced Member Username: keurosix Post Number: 397 Registered: 10-2005 Posted on Wednesday, April 01, 2009 - 9:31 pm:    Oh PA-LEASE!! What's this a "Wish I was a Wish bass"? I'd expect this sort of thing from Bass Player magazine. elwoodblue Senior Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 642 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 01, 2009 - 11:09 pm:    I just have to say I am impressed by the workmanship.I would love to see pics of the build.

I understand it increases sustain.

Bill, tgo mike1762 Advanced Member Username: mike1762 Post Number: 278 Registered: 1-2008 Posted on Thursday, April 02, 2009 - 6:25 am:    Great new model, but still out of my price range I'm afraid. I'm thinking about seeing how much it would cost to have one of these built with Series 2 electronics. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 2219 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Thursday, April 02, 2009 - 6:27 am:    Bet you could play a "smokin" solo on those Bill! OO terryc Senior Member Username: terryc Post Number: 757 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Thursday, April 02, 2009 - 7:02 am:    Well at least the ultralight would float if you were ever on a sinking ship..double as a life preserver?? Guess we all got cuaght on that one... crgaston Senior Member Username: crgaston Post Number: 526 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Friday, April 03, 2009 - 6:42 pm:    Arrgh! It's goooone!!! (Gollum voice) I missed it, whatever it was! bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 2254 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Friday, April 03, 2009 - 8:10 pm:    Charles, it was a cardboard version of a Tribute with two "strings" and a balsa-cored neck through the body. I wonder if Mica could stick it into a thread post somewhere for posterior's sake? -bob bluplirst Junior Username: bluplirst Post Number: 49 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Friday, April 03, 2009 - 11:47 pm:    Unfortunately, I had to threaten Mica with legal action to get that page removed. The new "special" infringed on my prototype; an ultra-light touchstyle instrument (Patent pending) seen below.
