Looks awesome, congrats! mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7907 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - 2:01 pm:    Yeah, I agree, Flip. It's also a pretty good show as to what Walnut does over time - it gets more golden in the light parts over time. 10+ years on Walnut looks so lovely! jarlmos New Username: jarlmos Post Number: 3 Registered: 1-2013 Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - 12:08 pm:    Yes, I agree, It surely looks like the bass in the catalog. I tried it with my Ampeg today. Great sound. Even my wife hears the difference from my 1993 Warwick Streamer. :-) I got better pictures today showing the 3D effect. 5a_quilt_top Member Username: 5a_quilt_top Post Number: 59 Registered: 6-2012 Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - 1:44 pm:    Welcome to the Club! Nice bass & rig. How do you like the combination of the SVT, 8x10 cab & the Europa? I ask because I have a Europa 5-string on order and I have an SVT & 8x10 cab. Also - that looks like a Hercules 3-instrument stand. I find that to be extremely useful with Alembics. funkyjazzjunky Senior Member Username: funkyjazzjunky Post Number: 849 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Thursday, January 31, 2013 - 8:35 am:    That bass looks wonderful. Great rig jarlmos New Username: jarlmos Post Number: 5 Registered: 1-2013 Posted on Thursday, January 31, 2013 - 9:53 am:    Thanks for the welcomes, guys. Concerning the SVT, David, when I got my Ampeg it gave my Warwick Streamer a grander, fuller sound. Now when I use my Europa I get this nice glassy sound (does that make any sense?) and stil have fullness of tone that I had with my Streamer. It sounds just great. 5a_quilt_top Member Username: 5a_quilt_top Post Number: 60 Registered: 6-2012 Posted on Thursday, January 31, 2013 - 11:04 am:    Yes - "glassy" does make sense. A glassy shimmer on top of the fullness is what I hope to achieve with the Ampeg / Europa combo. A foundation that will cut through the mix. If my Europa turns out as nice as yours - I will be very happy. The 3-D flamed walnut on the mahogany core is a feast for the eyes and ears. jarlmos New Username: jarlmos Post Number: 6 Registered: 1-2013 Posted on Thursday, January 31, 2013 - 1:58 pm:    And yes, that's a Hercules 3-instrument stand. It's a good sturdy stand. jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3614 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, September 13, 2013 - 10:54 am:    Bump.... how did I miss this one for so long. A great example of why I much prefer the darker woods on Alembics. Nice move, dealing an ace picture on your first post.

I've got a signature as well as a distillate in walnut and they are both beautiful but so totally different than yours. It's one one of reasons why I like walnut so much - each piece is totally unique.
