Laying down on the lightblue bed ...hmmmm ...my twisted mind is going wandering to red kinky underwear .... ***sigh*** I have to see a shrink! Paul TBO Hey ...admit that a bass without strings has something "naked" ...no ....? Help doctor!!! fungke Junior Username: fungke Post Number: 15 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2004 - 2:32 pm:    She's a babe! No doubt about it. I've taken the strings off for good reason too... She'll be loaded with Hot Wires tomorrow (Thank You Mr Green!). First impressions though... fabulous tone and the sustain... wow! Pucked a string... went and made a cup of tea... came back and it was still going! I love this bass! This is going to be the start of an obssession... SC Delux in quilted maple is gonna be my next! bracheen Senior Member Username: bracheen Post Number: 523 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2004 - 4:57 pm:    Obsession is right! Everytime I see a new Alembic bass or guitar I want to run out and get one. She is beautiful no doubt, congratulations Sam fungke Junior Username: fungke Post Number: 19 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Friday, July 30, 2004 - 1:19 pm:    Almost forgot... my serial number is 88H5107.

I thought I'd be fairly restricted in terms of sound but it's quite flexible. It has that nice Alembic tone too...

You may have noticed that I also purchased a 1988 Elan recently. I just love the shape, very elegant and traditional (in a good way). I'm waiting for info from the 'A-files', before I post pictures in this Showcase section. With serial# 88 H 4912 USA I expect it to be one of the first Elans ever build. But, still waiting for confirmation...

That's 3 reds . jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 2528 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Sunday, July 24, 2011 - 11:18 pm:    Yeah I agree quilted maple is simply gorgeous. Jazzyvee
