Karl -
Nice playing - nothing wrong with the technique. Kudos to Sam - the production on that little video clip was really nice.

I love that crisp sound of that bass. Maple really makes gives the sound a kind of sting.

White, red & blue - very patriotic!

Elan looks great in red, BTW.

I love maple - crisp high end and a feast for the eyes as well.

She's my pride and joy! Bold and beautiful, she always makes her presence felt. I'm really starting to get a feel for subtleties as well. The electronics are simple ,but effective ! Bravo Alembic!

I notice you have an HH ray...I always thought the middle pickup setting had a very Alembic-y vibe to it!

Now that you mention it you're right.I usually use it mostly for slap, but take it when I'm playing in tight spaces. Its not a bad sub really. Nice bass all around. After my Elan, its my go to bass.
