I've been visiting since early Nov07 when I purchased my 1st Alembic off of ebay. Now that I have joined the 21st century and bought a digital camera, I finally feel worthy of joining THE CLUB.

Welcome aboard! Red basses rock... perhaps a set of those red strings seen in the background would be fitting.... How are you and the Essence getting along? |

Yeah I've got those DR's on the SB1000. As far as the Essence goes I'm a complete convert. The way I thought a bass should play and sound was right there all along. Sold my Zon Sonus fretless 4, Stingray Sub and my Tobias Killer B5 and now have a Orion 4 OceanBurst w/5A quilt and leds thanks to the Jan special on the way. Alembics are on another level as you know. |

You are correct about them being on another level. I too have a custom in the planning stages- hopefully a June/July start date will be realized for mine. I dig the Orion body style and really like colored finishes- the Oceanburst ALWAYS just pops on that quilt maple. It'll be a stunner when it's done- what electronics package are you getting? |

Welcome aboard! You don't have to have an Alembic to join the club, but appreciation of these beauties certainly helps! Play her in good health. Mike |

Welcome to the board Shannon! Oceanburst on a 5A Quilt will be nice! |

Thanks for the greetings. As far as electronics in the Orion right now just the standard package. But will probably add the filter and Q switch for the EMW. That filter blows me away with the various tones it offers. Also getting a FatBoy in the bridge. |
