Wilfred, congratulations. I haven't seen an EVH on this side of the pond. Sure do like them though. I have heard Edwin's on mp3. Very nice sound. Sam | ||

Broeder Paul, dankjewel! Ik ben er nog helemaal ondersteboven van, wat een geluk dat ze op mijn pad kwam... Because I know you're into photography: don't you think the pictures worked out great, sunny afternoon, no flash used, with a relatively 'simple' digital camera? | ||

I like the shape at the end of the body, how it flows with the same lines as the bird tail-piece. And I'm sure that the round elbow cut makes it really comfortable to play. Enjoy!! Ellery (Lowlife) | ||

It took a while for my new Glockenklang 'The Passenger' combo amp to arrive, but (ladies and gentlemen) I can now proudly present my #1 rig, consisting of the EVH with the dynamic amp duo I've christened 'Double Dutch'... Wilfred  | ||

Ehm, snow?! (it's not much, we haven't got the winters like we used to have anymore) Wilfred | ||

Snow, eh? I've heard of that. Paul TBO said the same thing about winters in Belgium not long ago. Wonder why that is? While this thread is about your EVH, your Orion is very nice also. I'll bet they sound great through the Glockenklang. Sam | ||

This beautiful bass is currently on offer via Edwin van Huik's store, here's the thread in the 'Swap shop & wish list' section: http://alembic.com/club/messages/395/17281.html?1111223854 Regards, Wilfred | ||

Well, tomorrow this beautiful bass will be back with me. I'm actually really looking forward to go and pick up an instrument that's already mine. Strange but true. I'm relieved that it wasn't sold yet when I decided I didn't want to sell at all. This situation begs for a 'rediscovery of your Alembic'-topic actually... Wilfred | ||

It's back! Soon some new pictures to celibrate, very glad I didn't sell it... Wilfred | ||

 An 'artist impression' (I love b/w photographs) of the reunion. Beautiful curves all around! Wilfred | ||

Hi what a threesome !. Is that a Sei bass in the centre.What does it look like in colour ?.I know this is an Alembic site but I was looking at some examples of Martin Petersons work last week when I bought my Alembic from The Gallery. | ||

Thanks Kevin, in fact it's a Benavente, specifically the same instrument that was tested in the March 2003 Bass Player magazine. I've introduced this non-Alembic in the Misc. section a few months ago, and polluted the thread with lots of pictures: http://alembic.com/club/messages/449/16789.html?1110808442 The top is Cookies & Cream Buckeye Burl (seriously, I didn't make that just up) and it's a great instrument altogether.

Wow that really is something - I know that guitars are meant to be played but what really gets me is when they're works of art as well.That's why I like the Alembic basses so much.The same goes for my Warwick thumb which seems to me to be very organic in the way it is sculpted.I also have a Status Kingbass on the way which is modern technology fused with beautiful woods.The Sei bass I refered to is called a single cut.There's one on the Gallery website. | ||

 I realised that I completely forgot to post the colour version, because I just love the atmosphere of black and white photography... Wilfred | ||

Is that a satin finish on the Orion ?.It has a beautiful deep lustre to it.  I think mine needs a bit of extra polishing. | ||

Senior Member Username: the_mule Post Number: 528 Registered: 1-2004 |
Yes, it's a satin finish. IMHO it's one of the things that make the Orion a very 'earthy' and 'natural' instrument. The EVH is the 'glossy' one in this picture. BTW I love the slight flaming on your Orion, very pretty bass! Wilfred |
