Some of the bodies look like what he had Alembic build him. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 6087 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Saturday, June 06, 2015 - 3:26 pm:    Bad karma. I'm with Joey. Let it go.

Not making a judgment either way. jalevinemd Senior Member Username: jalevinemd Post Number: 1006 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Saturday, June 06, 2015 - 10:36 pm:    I...can't...look...away... bigredbass Senior Member Username: bigredbass Post Number: 2384 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Saturday, June 06, 2015 - 11:16 pm:    Automatic Self-Destruct Sequence engaged.

How does he do the "no pots" thing, I wonder? I remember a lot of people didn't even think these instruments existed. keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 2236 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Sunday, June 07, 2015 - 12:21 pm:    Still haven't seen a finished instrument. The majority of the Facebook pictures that appear to be completed instruments are Photoshopped. He has even had a booth at a couple of NAMM shows but never brought any instruments. From what I've heard folks that have actually contacted Hal about trying one out get the run around about how great a luthier he is so there is no need to try before you buy. As far as the original Alembic bass goes I'm sure it is up to typical Alembic quality standards and would make a nice bass for someone at the right price.

I will say no more.

I figured it must be one those jokes I simply haven't been around long enough to get. Joey, you're hilarious. =) lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 6089 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Sunday, June 07, 2015 - 8:03 pm:    Not a joke. Just the nadir of the 11 years I've been hanging around here. Bill, tgo jalevinemd Senior Member Username: jalevinemd Post Number: 1009 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Sunday, June 07, 2015 - 9:30 pm:    I can second what Bill said. I actually stopped posting for a long time during that period. keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 2237 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Monday, June 08, 2015 - 5:04 am:    Yep, no joke. Let's just say it was not the best time in the life of this board. Keith edwardofhuncote Advanced Member Username: edwardofhuncote Post Number: 390 Registered: 6-2014 Posted on Monday, June 08, 2015 - 7:43 am:    Okay, curiosity got me... I found the thread(s).

Just move along. =) jon_jackson Advanced Member Username: jon_jackson Post Number: 228 Registered: 12-2008 Posted on Monday, June 08, 2015 - 10:37 am:    now you know... and you are right. Time to move along and on to what many of us come here to experience: civil and informed discourse on our favorite instruments and related topics. Just my thoughts. Jon
