It's called Bass and Beyond and it's a bassist's dream! Lots of boutique basses, like Zon, F Bass, Sadowsky, Elrick, Spector, etc. Anyway, they have three used Alembics on the used basses page - a white Europa 5-string, an Orion 5-string, and a 4-string Triple-Omega with Anniversary electronics. I've only been in a couple of times, but it's really a neat store. I've only met Juan but he's a nice guy, today I happened to be in the area so stopped in and we talked about basses, cats, the slow disintegration of society - you know, the usual stuff! I only played a 6-string Dingwall - been kind of looking for a 6-string, but they don't have anything that really appeals to me in stock. It was really exciting to find a new store - especially a bass-only store! "Northern California's only bass specific store" according to the website, and I think they're right! Gelb Music in Redwood City (south of San Francisco) has an amazing bass selection, but they carry other instruments. So stop in to Bass and Beyond if you're in the area! (PS I do not work for Bass and Beyond and I am not affiliated with them in any way, other than the fact that I think it's a really cool store and hope to be a customer some day!) longhorncat Advanced Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 211 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2007 - 5:46 am:    I emailed them a while back about the Oceanburst Triple Omega. It's on consignment w/ an asking price of $5500: dtrice Intermediate Member Username: dtrice Post Number: 121 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2007 - 8:53 am:    Is that Rhapsody in Blue? http://www.alembic.com/info/fc_tripleomega.html? tbrannon Senior Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 533 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2007 - 9:08 am:    The Orion has a nice walnut top and is Signature equipped jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 957 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2007 - 11:53 am:    Even though I prefer the natural wood colour on alembics, that is a delicious bass. kungfusheriff Senior Member Username: kungfusheriff Post Number: 628 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2007 - 1:55 pm:    Unless it's changed hands recently, which I doubt, that bass belongs to "hippiesandwich" who has a presence on most of the bass bulletin boards. I've known him for a long time, and he's a good guy. Should anyone here speak with him, please tell him I said hello. bigbadbill Advanced Member Username: bigbadbill Post Number: 390 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2007 - 3:53 pm:    Oh boy, I think I just drooled all over my keyboard..... hieronymous Advanced Member Username: hieronymous Post Number: 232 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Saturday, November 03, 2007 - 2:02 pm:    Hey, the white Europa sold!

Nice electronics upgrade though.
