Do you think that maybe we could convince the good folks as Alembic to produce a bumper sticker that says: "My other bass is an ALEMBIC" ? Naturally this would go nicely on my Fender Jazz case. I'm pretty sure most of us use at least one of these. | ||

Stoney, I would rather go for: "Only two beauties are touched by my hands: my wife and my Alembic (s) " Oliver:-) | ||

I'd prefer a license plate frame with the Alembic logo and Alembic in script on the top. This one might work too: "My other wife is an Alembic" Brad | ||

"My other wife is an Alembic" That might be good on a t-shirt too. | ||

Brad, I like the license plate frame idea! Sam | ||

I like it too, that is if you don't get rear-ended because the fool behind you is trying to figure out what it says. Then again that presents some rather interesting whip-lash po$$ibilities. Yep, I'll order another ALEMBIC just as soon as I cash that big fat check, thank you very much!!.....(Mica, you reading any of this?) | ||

The license plate frame has to be made out of wood. Bill, tgo | ||

The plate frame will need to be made of Maple and Ebony laminates with Coco Bolo face. Keith | ||

I was thinking chromed or nickel plated brass, myself. I can't imagine Alembic Wolmanizing anything. Brad | ||

Ha! Wolmanizing. I'm wondering if it is close enough to wolf to draw the attention of a certain member (who shall remain nameless). Brad | ||

How about "My wife let me have an Alembic" or "I have the World's Greatest Wife - she let me have the World's Greatest [guitar] [bass]: Alembic" I suspect that may hit a little closer to home for many of us. Bill, tgo | ||

I think I would definitely vote for (and buy) Bill togo's second offering above. 1955 Aries's have pretty good ideas. Rich | ||

How about .... "Fender Jazz Deluxe ... $1250... "Fender Precision MIA, $1000 ... "Warwick Thumb ... $1000 ... "The look on everyone's face when you whip out your Alembic ... priceless ...." "For everything else, there is only one bass ... Alembic ..." Prices are guesses, so I might be wrong. You get the gist of it though ... Alan | ||

Rich, I thought that they only made the Aries during the 80's-- Lee Iacocca* and all that. Brad * can't be bothered to spell check this, hope I got it right. | ||

Brad, I meant the March-April, 1955 birthdays. I don't know what Chrysler Corp. was doing during the 1950s. I was probably just cruising the neighborhood in my red wagon. Bill, your wife is right. Mine would like the sweat shirt but would add, "I hope you know that was your string money you spent on this shirt". She is so tolerant of my GAS problem, she has earned the right to make a few comments. Of course, Spousal Termination Of Purchasing (STOP) temporarily puts the brakes on GAS, at least in my house.
