IIRC it would cost about as much as a Series II, last October. Here's the original thread: http://alembic.com/club/messages/449/6203.html | ||

Wow, ebony stringers in the hangers. Well, you have to use the scraps for SOMETHING once you make that Custom... :-) Speaking of, I wish someone would make the small Alembic gift boxes again! I wanted to get one for my mother some time back but just missed them. They were really pretty...and much cheaper than the usual things we love coco bolo on! EffClef | ||

Well...I for one am not going to drool over the display case (though it is impressive). Roger: Every time I see your bass from another angle, it grabs me how graceful the lines of the body, neck and claw are. It really does look like a living thing that could fly! Bill | ||

Hey guys, you only speak about the showcase. Did you notice Rog´s Dragon Wing? This piece is state-of-the-art..... And I will also have a chance to play it soon, even if it only will be for a few minutes. Thanks Rog! Oliver (Spyderman) | ||

Coincidentally, I happen to have 3 Alembics within 20 feet of me that I sure would like to display. Are you sure you fine California folk wouldn't want to make a little Chicago boy's heart go pitter-patter every time he walks in the door? I got my order in for a black Alembic strap today (Hi Val) And if I win the Mega Ball game tonight (215 MILLION), I will definately need to add to the family with a custom of my own! Mike | ||

Roger, that is stunning. I know you're ready to get your hands on it. | ||

Rog, how did you read my mind about the DW? Yes I am very eager to hold it and to play it when we meet. This will be a meeting: Dragon Wing and Spyder..... Oliver (Spyderman) | ||

Oh ...huh ....when is the meeting planned? It's at Ed's place??? Paul the bad one | ||

Paul, It's from lunchtime onwards on Wednesday 31 March at Edwin's shop. We're coming up from Brugge (it's Jacqueline's birthday the day before so she might have a hangover!!) so it'll be whenever we arrive. Probably 1pm? That doesn't allow time for getting lost in Hilversum and lost on the way out of Brugge though! I think the plan is that Claudia and Jacqueline are going shopping whilst we're all playing with bass guitars! Cheers, Rog | ||

Rog, to use Paul's (TBO) own words "PICTURES, PICTURES, PICTURES !!! there had better be a camera there when Spyder meets Dragon Wing. | ||

I think Jacqueline is going to take some pictures before going to give her credit cards some exercise! I can always get Edwin to take some pictures too! | ||

Roger say that again. Your wife is more interested in your bass than shopping? Alright! | ||
| rogertvr
Intermediate Member Username: rogertvr Post Number: 193 Registered: 1-2003 |
Yes, but probably only for an hour and she'll have had some serious shopping therapy round Brugge for a few days first. So she'll be shopped-out probably! | ||

Rog, If you take the TVR she can't buy much | ||

TVR is out - no way the DW will fit in it! Besides, the boot on the TVR isn't THAT small (unfortunately)... | ||

Roger, This is too weird... I picked my bass up (at Alembic) 2 days after my wife's birthday. In fact, they called me the night before her birthday to say it was done. Ken (TEO) | ||

Hey Effclef. you are the only other person that I have seen here to mention the gift boxes. It just happens that my mother bought one for me a couple of Christmases ago. Serial number B-29. Quilted maple top to match my Essence 5. Just wanted to share. | ||

Junior Username: effclef Post Number: 30 Registered: 1-2004 |
That is a riot. They have serial numbers? I guess it should not have suprised me! I'd love to see them reissued sometime. The woods are so beautiful - I'd be happy to just hang a square of Coco Bolo or quilted maple on my wall! EffClef |
