Like all of you, I'm a big fan of Alembic... I won't bore you with the details, but I did want to share pictures of my bass with you all. I had this made a few years ago... a childhood dream come true! Thanks.

I don't think a discussion of the control setup would hurt. I would guess you started with a Stanley Clarke model? So that would be a mono-stereo switch next to the 1/4" jack.

The black line between the pickups is a strip of ebony that serves as a thumb rest. It has golden mother of pearl inlays and a slight amber tint to the finish.

I regret not getting a tint on my bass. richbass939 Advanced Member Username: richbass939 Post Number: 211 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Friday, April 01, 2005 - 7:48 pm:    What a knockout!!

And indeed that amberish color surplus really "makes" it!

I'll bet you have to drink a sixpack before you can even open the case on that one.*Laughs sarcastically* Seriously, That is one of the most beautiful Quilt patterns I have ever seen. I love to see those SC models all decked out like yours. The matching headstock is a nice touch.(I wish mine had that)
