It's truly a dream come true for me. Just the right size and very easy to play. My "perfect" Alembic! southpaw Intermediate Member Username: southpaw Post Number: 166 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Monday, April 09, 2007 - 5:56 pm:    Very cool story Spencer.

Congrats! Wilfred facemo New Username: facemo Post Number: 6 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Tuesday, May 01, 2007 - 10:04 pm:    Thanks for all the warm wishes and congrats! Most appreciated. I'm finding the 32" scale and lighter weight much more to my liking. My previous Alembic 5 (January 2001 Featured Custom) was just a bit too big and heavy for me. I want to thank Ken for buying this bass in the first place and then taking such good care of it. By the way, I see from the original paperwork that it was purchased from Rockley Music right here in Denver. Go figure!!!! Also bigtime thanks go out to Ruben who saw my post and made this happen.
