Here is the FTC of this bass. Toshiaki artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1465 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Saturday, April 09, 2011 - 11:00 am:    Beautiful! Play it Healthy! Art tbrannon Senior Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 1318 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Saturday, April 09, 2011 - 12:35 pm:    A 36" scale Alembic, with 3 ebony stringers played through 4 Bag End 15's and a Walter Woods head!! That is a sweet setup and I'll bet that B string brings some thunder! charles_holmes Intermediate Member Username: charles_holmes Post Number: 128 Registered: 3-2009 Posted on Sunday, April 10, 2011 - 9:07 am:    Damn Toshi!!!!! I gotta get a 5 string! That's a sweet Axe, congratulations. I love those Bag Ends too!(You're a bassist after my heart. "See Chalie's Distillate") I'm curious how everything sounds using the Walter Woods Head. Keep it Low and stay out of treble!

The e.q. was flat and the sound was deep and to the point. In other words....nice and round. charles_holmes Intermediate Member Username: charles_holmes Post Number: 129 Registered: 3-2009 Posted on Monday, April 11, 2011 - 6:25 am:    Hi Ya Adam! And thank you so much for the skinny on the Walter Woods Amp! Toshi..My Distillate brother! I love that distillate of yours man! I listened to your recording too...most excellent! What did you use to record your song with? Oh yeah, I do get massive bass with the double 18's because I have QSC 2450 dedicated to run them, But I use a Boss GEB-7 Equalizer to enhance the bottom and the bottom really becomes gigantic!

It has very neutral sound with a little warmth which make me feel so good. I added the recording data on Distillate thread.

A Series 2 bass into a Walter Woods amp powering Bag Ends was my rig right up until I stopped playing electric. Great, flexible sound. dadabass2001 Senior Member Username: dadabass2001 Post Number: 1553 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Saturday, April 16, 2011 - 7:11 am:    A beautiful bass and a great rig! Congratulations Toshiaki.

Very pretty. Play it in good health. masterofmanystrings Junior Username: masterofmanystrings Post Number: 16 Registered: 5-2010 Posted on Thursday, April 21, 2011 - 3:35 pm:    Since no one else commented on it, I'll point out that it is potentially risky to have a Balance K or similar bass rest on the omega tips -which have been known to break off in some such circumstances. Not the end of the world, but something I'm sure any proud owner would prefer to avoid -along with whatever the costs of repair would be. hieronymous Senior Member Username: hieronymous Post Number: 917 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Thursday, April 21, 2011 - 3:37 pm:    I noticed that too - I'm hoping the flexibility of the tatami mats underneath are giving added cushioning! to_81_0190 Intermediate Member Username: to_81_0190 Post Number: 166 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Thursday, April 21, 2011 - 4:34 pm:    masterofmanystrings, Thanks for the attention. I know the dangerous and don't need to worry about it. I hung the bass on the wall immediately after took the pics. As Harry mentioned, a tatami mat has a little cushion but it's not enough to protect the tips. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 10140 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, April 22, 2011 - 6:59 pm:    Congrats Toshiaki; this is a wonderful bass! lmiwa Advanced Member Username: lmiwa Post Number: 318 Registered: 2-2008 Posted on Friday, April 22, 2011 - 8:57 pm:    36" scale w/ three ebony lams - I know what you mean. http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/67042.html?1247324493 It's an amazing sound. Enjoy! Loch
