An alembic (or alambic) is also used to "moonshine" I believe our US brothers call it in old days.
Adriaan ...I saw that too.

Ho David ...the concept to use Titles of songs were an Alembic bass was used in as tagline a good concept. Maybe too intellectualistic??
But ...well ...that's how I am...

Without speaking for (and embarrassing) the whole of American persons (just my illiterate self), I think the word "alembic" is pretty obscure. Further, until I looked a bit further because of my interest in Alembic instuments, my meager understanding of the word was that it was associated most closely with the admirable practice of alchemy - principally conversion of non-gold substances to gold. Actually (did I grow up in a linguistic BARNYARD!?!) my understanding that an "alembic" was a still did not really take root until after extensive, systematic research -- mostly in the form of noticing the Ebay listings that come up under "alembic" but are not basses, guitars or preamps.
I'm not confident (again, my humble, illiterate opinion) that others on this side of the pond would make the connection between "Alembic" to distilling drinkable beverages.

to break it all down in a musical instrument sence, all of impurities,hath been removed,the pickups are ceramicmagnetic,(eliminating harmonic distortion)producing a purer signal, (cleanest possible tone)w/addition to high quality onboard pre-amps topped off w/the most exotic woods , adding all these ingredients,the purest of them all could only add up to being (a distilled musical instrument) ,thus the alembic is born!

it is rather hard to find a line Who or JE related.
Maybe:
ALEMBIC - the real me.......

Ok here's a couple of thoughts. I apologize (make excuses) in advance, very little sleep due to work the last couple days and today the building where my office is located has, all morning, been calibrating the Fire Alarm to find the most headache inducing pitch. They are getting closer all the time. Anyway here are some song related lines from Alembicized bands, some direct some paraphrased:

"If you get confused, listen to the music play"

Come hear Uncle Ron's Bass

"Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of are own"

Its a bass beyond description


Spend my days with a bass unkind,
Now I'm Goin' to California an Alembic will be mine


See Me
Touch Me
Hear Me
-Alembic Beckons

Don't you want some bass to love

"My Best Friend"
-Alembic

And some non-song related paraphrases:

Bassic Instinct

Give in to your Bass-er needs

Beyond Custom
Beyond Description
Beyond Belief

When you care enough to play the very best

Well not too original, but maybe after a proper nights sleep something better may come to mind.

This is a fun thread, there have been some great entries.

Hey,
Remember the movie with Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone.... You all know the one.....

BASSic Instinct!!!!!

Sorry, I'm tired.

FYI- I'll be offline for about 10 days so I apologize in advance for not getting back to anyone. I'm going to LA and I don't have a laptop yet.

Peace,

Thanks Sam,

I just thought about that last post. That could be the title of a blues tune...
"I'm going to LA and I aint got a laptop yet"

Dino, I looked it up; it's against the rules to use the word "laptop" in a blues tune.

Martin Mull: "Well I got so upset this morning... I threw my drink across the lawn" (walk to IV and repeat)

I think he called it the suburban white boy blues.

I think you ought to run the ad on 2 pages...on the first one the slogan should be in Elvish (I bet Ken would love to translate it), on the second one translated into English...keep 'em guessing...:-)

Hi Paul,

The saying goes: Closing the barn door after all the horses have left the barn....

It's something that my government is very well versed in.

BTW, as long as I'm around, there will always be a horses ass.... LOL!

Paul TBO,

What he means is, you've closed the barn door AFTER the horses have escaped. (ie, too late)

If it can't be cured with butter or whiskey, it can't be cured.

Not the same meaning but a good proverb.

It looks like the horse was a bit slow leaving the barn and thanks to Paul TBO the door has been secured with the horse still safely within. Phew.

One of my co workers uses the phrase:

It's like closing the barn door after the horses have eaten all the children.

I kinda like that one.
