Seriously though very nice instrument, I’m envious.

I got so excited I hit the close window button instead of back and had to relaunch my browser. Congratulations on a beautiful instrument.

I'm thinking maybe one of these in a guitar...hmmmm. 57basstra Advanced Member Username: 57basstra Post Number: 304 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Wednesday, September 06, 2006 - 9:25 am:    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! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 4392 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, September 06, 2006 - 4:01 pm:    It's beautiful!! jlpicard Senior Member Username: jlpicard Post Number: 445 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Wednesday, September 06, 2006 - 6:52 pm:    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! dadabass2001 Senior Member Username: dadabass2001 Post Number: 670 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, September 06, 2006 - 7:27 pm:    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 jlpicard Senior Member Username: jlpicard Post Number: 448 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Friday, September 08, 2006 - 2:20 pm:    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. lidon2001 Advanced Member Username: lidon2001 Post Number: 212 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Friday, September 08, 2006 - 4:18 pm:    Great bass Michael!
