That is just awesome! I got so excited I hit the close window button instead of back and had to relaunch my browser. Congratulations on a beautiful instrument. Sam |

That pistol grip looks amazing on that full size balance body. I'm thinking maybe one of these in a guitar...hmmmm. |

My nephew is a lefty bass player (and guitar player) who is right now in basic training with the U.S. Army. I'm going to tell him about this custom Alembic. He will love it! |

Thank you one and all! I am enjoying every moment with this bass. It is truly a dream come true. I thought long and hard about the wood combinations and with help from Valentino and everyone at Alembic, we were able to bring this wonderful instrument to life! |

Michael, That neck demands close inspection, I would imagine everyone doing double takes once they get close enough to see it. The body is gorgeous as well. Congratulations Mike |

Mike, You're right, everyone who sees it comments about the neck. I thought long and hard about the laminate arrangment and then suddenly I had one of those AH HA! moments, you know what I mean? I knew then that it was the right choice. |
