ahum ... (me again) a - I didn't see the Basclef either unless pointed out. Nice indeed. b - Rats ...Brother Adriaan!! Now I'am wexposed as a belgian and "soft 'g'"talker. c - to mess-up a little bit more the fish symbol. Here in Belgium there is a brand of fishing gear ARCA that has the same symbol (no bas-clef of course) and that's something you see a LOT too on the bumpers of cars.

Paul TBO, So you're saying in the beginning the whole fish thing was just the sponsor logo worn by the judean olympic fishing team? And they were only in it for the money?! Geez ... Adriaan | ||

If'n I ever get access to a scanner, I'll copy a page of the May/June 1991 issue of "Bass Player," which boasts a brief profile of Mr. Van Huik and two of his gorgeaous Alembics (albeit in a black-and-white shot roughly the size of a postage stamp). | ||

Edwin, all I can say about your new bass is MY OH MY OH MY! That is one fine instrument! Now that it's a custom of the month maybe it will be put on a coffee mug. I know it's going up on my computer as wallpaper. Congratulations. Sam | ||

Edwin, That new one is a beauty. I think Alembic can expect to start seeing orders coming in for that body style, as well as the 3/4 Balance Point. I like your idea on the different colors for side LEDs. Actually, I'm just jealous that I didn't think of it when I ordered mine 4 years ago. Peace, James | ||

I had the pleasure of holding this bass and must admit, it is worth every cent. Just a question Ed, is or was Sam using his own or your toiletpaper as screensaver? Imagine, your own smell-o-rama screensaver. Talk to you soon, still thinking if you know what I mean. Manfred | ||

Manfred, The toilet paper was Edwin's idea. I'm using the photo of his bass. Maybe the smell-o-rama will come in handy with the next Zebrawood custom. Sam | ||

Edwin, Saw your bass when I picked mine up at the factory, and thought it looked really cool then. (it didn't have the electronics or hardware in yet) Congrats on the featured custom. Hmmm...maybe a 34" scale in the EVH III for my next... Ken (TEO) | ||

Edwin, I really like the shape, the wood is beautiful, and even though I tend to get ever-so-slightly nervous when I see a fish in this particular shape, it's a great story and a beautiful inlay - love the shell, and the bass clef. Now then, according to a very well-informed source, the custom bass-boost controls give you up to 15 dB increase! (and they weren't easy to build). Are these standard shelving-type controls, and if so at what frequency do they start? I have a hard time imagining adding that much bass, and suspect you might be reducing it elsewhere in the chain - you can't cut it with the low pass filters in the bass, but maybe in an SF-2 or a preamp? Could you say a little more about how you are shaping the frequency response? -Bob |
