thats nice! and doesn't Lacewood come from Australia to begin with? (that would sort of be 'coming home' to Australia...) |

Thanks. "Especially nice" by Alembic standards must be special. |

David, I played the Mark King & the Excel, both sounded & played great, & of course they also look really stunning. I think the folks who will come at the opening will be very impressed. Wish I could be there. Valentino |

It's very likely you've already been enjoying these basses. But just in case, here's the other 2 from the shipment: Hope you like them! |

Beautiful. What are the core and accent woods in the three basses? (They are with UPS in Sydney - awaiting customs clearance - should be delivered tomorrow.) |

MKMB4: Mahogany body, Maple accents KLB5: Mahogany body, Maple accent XLB5: Ash body, Purpleheart accent, Maple pinstripe You'll probably wind up liking the Excel most - it's the most unlike your other basses. You should notice a marked difference in tone. |
