If I weren't a musician( I use this term loosely), I would be very worried about that post! All kidding aside, congrats on still having such a beautiful bass David! Sounds like you take very good car of her Paul TGO |

Gorgeous bass, Dave. Happy to see another blonde. I have a short scale blonde and I think she is definitely more fun. -Andy http://www.songramp.com/homepage.ez?Who=Monument |

Thanks Andy, they do yellow with age, but they still look great. When I bought mine in 1976 I had a choice, mine or one just like yours, well I took the large body, and have wanted a short scale small body Alembic to add to my small collection. Welcome to the club. David T (the loud one) |

Hey Dave. Thanks for the welcome. I do miss my large body short scale. It was definitely more comfortable to play but as I don't do live gigs anymore its not an issue. I just wish I hadn't sold it all those years ago. Classic story... six basses and a new baby. Something had to give. But man, I LOVE the look of your large body blonde.
