It's been a blast - someday I'll get another Alembic! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7355495747 | ||

James, we need to get together before the auction ends!!! I've never heard an Alembic guitar up close, and my first opportunity is about to disappear. | ||

James brought this guitar by the house today. It looks much nicer in person than it does in the pictures. The Maple top is very nice. The picture has a lot of glare and makes it look red. But it's actually a very nice figured Maple. This was the first time I've heard an Alembic guitar up close; and I loved it. James showed me how the guitar can get a wide range of very nice tones; and I tried playing it myself, seeing the differences in the different tone settings (but since I don't play guitar, I wasn't able to do much more than that). We played some together and had a very nice jam. James and I have a similar style and it was fun playing together. The sounds of the two Alembics blended together wonderfully! Thanks James for bringing this guitar over and letting me hear it! | ||

Hehe, the pleasure was all mine! So fun to meet you on the board Dave - and then realize we're only a couple miles apart, haha! My first opportunity to 'play' (held it in my hands and plunked it) an Alembic bass - wow, what a joy. But I really got an education today about Alembic basses and electronics - what a sound - and brought forth by a fantastic bass player. Folks, Dave has chops! |
