My 5 string Mark King / Series II will be celebrating it's 4th birthday this June. Been with me the whole time. My "other" Alembic will be 17 sometime in 2004. Been with me 4 years. Arrived two days before the 5 string, actually. What a week that was!! Peace, James (Message edited by malthumb on March 21, 2004) (Message edited by malthumb on March 21, 2004) | ||

I've owned my Signature Deluxe for almost twelve years now. It is and always has been my main axe. Others came and went, but this is one for keeps. I love this bass.  Duncan | ||

Here's a pic of the body of my bass. Check out the deep/dark cocobolo with lighter extensions to the upper and lower horns.  Duncan | ||

This is an old and poor quality gig shot. About a year and a half old. Don't take too many pictures in church. This summer there may be a few more coming. I'm tracking down a nice gig.  Peace, James | ||

Keavin, brother, I do enjoy my basses but maybe you need to get out more! My first bass was a Guild. Not a Pilot but a B302. I wish I still had it. To bad youth and poverty so often go hand in hand. Or should I say youth and bad choices? Oh yeah, the point of the thread. My Epic is 10 years old. I've had it since last November. Sam | ||

actually it was in the pawnshop! (just kidding), most gigs in vegas they prefer the musicians to run through the mains, but that gig was in a bar and my speakers were on the floor on each side of the stage. |
