You'll have to post pics of the rest of your collection.

I've just realised I was looking at your previous alembics entry. Must have been a wrench to let them go, even for this beauty. graeme marcky Junior Username: marcky Post Number: 22 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Wednesday, November 23, 2005 - 5:45 am:    I didn't play those other Alembics very often. They were a bit to heavy and didn't have the sound of a series-1 bass. The series-1 I own now is the best thing I ever had I play it all the time(I really should get some sleep). My previous Alembics did look great didn't they? the_8_string_king Junior Username: the_8_string_king Post Number: 45 Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Wednesday, November 23, 2005 - 8:56 am:    Gorgeous! I've never seen a rear headstock/back of neck quite like yours. It looks unique -with respects to the veneers coming down extra far. Was that a custom feature, do you know. At the risk of sounding repetitious -as I just said the comment I'm about to say to another Alembic owner- your bass really captures the classic Alembic beauty and elegance. Welcome to the club! marcky Junior Username: marcky Post Number: 25 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Wednesday, November 23, 2005 - 9:05 am:    I asked Rick Turner, he said they did do a few basses like this but it's very rare. This bass was originaly made for a shop in Germany.
