"Especially nice" by Alembic standards must be special. valvil Moderator Username: valvil Post Number: 218 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 4:49 pm:    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.

But just in case, here's the other 2 from the shipment: Hope you like them! dnburgess Intermediate Member Username: dnburgess Post Number: 122 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Monday, October 27, 2003 - 11:33 pm:    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.) mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 1184 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Monday, October 27, 2003 - 11:41 pm:    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.
