Whoever had it before me obviously didn't play it much: I can't find a scratch or ding anywhere. The front and back are flamed Walnut and the contrast with the Myrtle body is really striking. A nice surprise was the LEDs (I didn't know it had them until I took it out of the case). The position markers (MOP?) are hypnotic. The back laminate adds enough weight to the body so that it balances better than my SC. The tone is not much different (which is fine... I love my SC). The finish is different from my other Alembics; therefore, the bass "feels" different. I think $3,550 was a steal for all these features on this bass. I'll post pics when I have a day off. artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1393 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Friday, January 28, 2011 - 6:12 pm:    Glad to hear you like it Mike!
