Well I finally made it. Got my first Alembic! An Essence 4 with a beautiful birds-eye/quilt maple top, purpleheart accent and maple pinstrip. Your simple vol/pan/filter setup and abalone inlays. Just got it today and I absolutely love it! Feels great, sounds amazing. Just need to make a couple minor adjustments and away I go! Here are some web pics. Haven't taken my own yet. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b368/bassjigga/alembic_1910_21886386.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b368/bassjigga/Alembic_Birdseye_45.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b368/bassjigga/Alembic_birdseye_FullUp.jpg |

Congratulations, David, very nice indeed. The Essence is a classic bass in my opinion. Sam |

Thanks guys. Yeah the top is gorgeous. Really shimmers in the light. I still can't get over the wide range of tones it's capable of just using the pan and filter. |
