Who here in the Alembic Club has the most guitars and basses? Just curious.

I also have a Lil' Darling and a Studio Further with a custom Spectrum Baritone on order. hydrargyrum Senior Member Username: hydrargyrum Post Number: 1057 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Monday, September 19, 2011 - 7:12 am:    I'd take Keavin's post with a grain of salt (and a sense of humor). I believe that's a photo from the Chicago Alembic gathering. But, hey, you can't blame him for wishful thinking right? davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 10378 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, September 19, 2011 - 7:51 am:    Picture 1, Row 4: The first bass looks like an Alembic but may be a Fernandez. The third bass is the Persuader in picture 2. Picture 2, Row 2: Second bass looks possible. Picture 2, Rows 4&5 squished together: First bass Quilted Maple Mark King. Second bass looks to be the same Fernandez as was in the first picture (the logo just doesn't look right, and other features look like the standard Fernandez copy from that period). Picture 2, Row 6: First bass Quilted Maple Persuader. Picture 3: Triple-O Mark King. Flame Maple Persuader with Vector body. Same Maple Mark King as in Picture 2. Picture 4, Row 2: Third bass may be the Fernandez again. Picture 4, Row 5: The Maple Persuader again. Picture 4, Row 6: Excel. Picture 5: N/A. So; Quilted Maple Mark King Standard, Quilted Maple Persuader, Triple-O Mark King, Flame Maple Persuader Vector, Excel. So I'm seeing 5 definite Alembics. tmoney61092 Senior Member Username: tmoney61092 Post Number: 735 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Monday, September 19, 2011 - 10:04 pm:    i would absolutely kill for the bass to the right of the Bag End cab in Keavin's picture(the ultimate Alembic!) ~Taylor (Message edited by tmoney61092 on September 19, 2011)
