I like the look of the maple. This bass also gives me a good idea of what some 50 year old Eastern Maple slabs I have would look like as a bass.

I think you might be on to something. Personally I like seeing the maple rather than covering it up with paint.

I actually liked it in white paint too. I'm not as keen on light woods as I am with the darker woods. Now if that was in Cocobolo or madagascar ebony, my fingers would be twitching. bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 2714 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Friday, August 29, 2014 - 12:53 am:    I'd probably be interested if it were in the US at a US price. charles_holmes Advanced Member Username: charles_holmes Post Number: 353 Registered: 3-2009 Posted on Friday, August 29, 2014 - 5:11 am:    That bass speaks to me. I love its body and I am a huge fan of the crown head. But I want a series and won't settle for anything else. funkyjazzjunky Senior Member Username: funkyjazzjunky Post Number: 918 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Friday, August 29, 2014 - 10:21 pm:    Who is EVH? adriaan Moderator Username: adriaan Post Number: 3135 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, August 29, 2014 - 11:53 pm:    It's the one and only Edwin van Huik! Here's a thread under Artists and Their Alembic. Best to start with the archived messages first. And a more recent thread here!

[link] Pretty sure that Mica told me that this is the only one to be offered for sale by a dealer in the United States. Excellent balance with this different body style, and very versatile with the East Meets West electronics. Edwin Van Huik is a great guy. We exchanged some messages when I told him that I picked up his signature model here in the States. I like that 5-strring. Someone here should take it home!
