A crazy Japanese company that makes very avant-garde basses, including one and two stringed instruments. At the time we discussed Alembic designing a one-stringed Series bass... Anybody remember what company that was? I really need to find their website or any information about them. thanks! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 3815 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 10, 2006 - 7:00 pm:    Atlansia flaxattack Senior Member Username: flaxattack Post Number: 1099 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Wednesday, May 10, 2006 - 7:32 pm:    thats some wild looking stuff...... how many yen to the dollar? hb3 Intermediate Member Username: hb3 Post Number: 104 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Wednesday, May 10, 2006 - 7:46 pm:    Damn you guys are quick csissom Member Username: csissom Post Number: 86 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Wednesday, May 10, 2006 - 7:49 pm:    Looks like 1 US dollar is currently about 111 yen.

Supposedly he designed the very cool Alembic influenced Aria basses that came out in the 80's. My favorite is the Victoria bass which can be seen at bunnybass.com. I've actually tried to e-mail them several times about acquiring one but nobody ever replies. Probably lost in translation. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 1290 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Friday, May 12, 2006 - 7:09 am:    I especially like the bird-shape "F" hole on some of the hollow bodies. Anyone ever play one of these? Bill, tgo
