Thanks dave, speaking of you, i watched the video of you playing chameleon and it sounded awsome. The bass lines were smooth and funky at the same time, i guess its just great playing, and great basses. The tone sounded great! forget the guitarist, you were the show! | ||

So as to not completely hijack this thread let me first say "Nice instrument Pat!". I can't wait to see how the grain pops once the finish is done. I've been keeping an eye on this tread for a while. Secondly (and off topic), it was a nice treat to see the videos linked from the www.montfordpark.com website. I am the former owner of the Series I that Dave is playing and it made me feel really good to be able to see the instrument being played. It's also exceptionally "surreal" because I actually used to live in Asheville in Montford Park (in a house, not on a bench) many many years ago. That was actually when I originally bought that bass and now after almost 14 years and many hundereds of miles that very same bass has somehow managed to find its way back to where it all began. Strange but true. So Dave when you're playing around town and somebody walk up to you and says "I used to know a guy years ago who had a bass just like that one." You can tell them "Yep, same bass.".  - Jim | ||

Hey guys i thought i might post my gear. Included is my Mesa Dual Rectifier Maverick Class-A in the custom built cab that i made, the 4x10 combo cab that the guts were in with Jensen alnicos, my custom truncated pyramid 1x12 with a celestion neo (soon to be hemp coned by Tone Tubby), my PRS, my Parker Fly Mojo Flametop, and my pedals mostly Fulltone stuff from left to right- (Clyde Delux, OCD, Full-Drive 2, Choralflange, Fatboost, and then my EHX 16 seccond digital delay. Then i have a boss tuner and the chanel switch) Hope you guys like it! Im getting a new amp soon, so if anyone wants the mesa with the Oak Head Cab and the 4x10 Combo Cab its up for grabs, shoot me an E-Mail! ENJOY!

I'm pretty sure your guitar now has all the finish on it:  If my assumption is correct, then it will be a few days for the final cure before the rub out and the buff out. But it does look awfully close to completion! | ||

so what do you guys think, is this FEATURED CUSTOM material? i was thinking it might be up there because it is a 7 string! I wish it would be the featured! | ||

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!! HOLY FREAKIN' POOP!!! It looks awesome!!! It finally just hit me... every time I've seen your guitar, it's reminded me of something sub-consciously... but I didn't know what. And it just hit me. I don't know if, perhaps, you, like myself, are a COMIC BOOK FREAK -yes, that's right, I said "a COMIC BOOK FREAK"- but... your guitar reminds me a little of... Spider-Man! (A more contemporary version of his outfit -a la "Scarlet Spider"... if you know what that means.) Yeah, there's an almost spider-like pattern, and also, there's some figuring on either side of the bookmatched horns -that looks almost like Spider-Man's eye-slits (of his mask). O-kay, I hope that perhaps in some small way that amuses you or gives you something other than the impression that I'm a total freak of nature (which, of course, I am!). Wow, the guitar really looks awesome. I've contemplated a custom Alembic 7-string guitar before... and I've really enjoyed watching the progress of your beauty. I'll look forward to hearing your account of her when she comes. | ||

Check out the Alembic history pages from the main site if you get a chance. You'll see a shot of a 7-string from the early days. The pics are here. | ||

Unfortunately, I don't own this guitar anymore. But...it did sound great. I had it setup Van Epps style with a low "A". I am very picky when it comes to 7 strings, and I decided to let it go. Not that there was anything wrong with the guitar...I am fickle. ;) | ||

Hi Pat, it's close; it is fretted, but James just sent it back to spray for a couple more coats. I think we are looking at another 10-14 days. Valentino |
