Darn nice looking bass you got there, I just can't get all the adjectives out that are stuck in my head! This is going to be awesome to watch this bass as it comes to life. Nice choice of woods, hope the tone is all or more you dreamed of. Peace....Bear | ||

Eduardo, let me just say from the bottom of my heart... You have exquisite taste in basses. This bass may be called: "Spooky" however, I don't see nothing spooky about it. Maybe I missed the joke... In my opinion, this bass captures the top '5' Baddest Alembic basses I ever seen. When I say "Baddest" I mean: "Supreme Beauty Eminence of everything I ever seen..." I truly hope you continue to stay in contact with Alembic.com to allow people like myself to see action shots as you plow through the pages of time. With those huge black bar of soap Alembic pickups will really make ebony stripe laminates "POP" out at anybody who looks at this bass. This bad boy is Super BAD! Thanks.

Thank U Hal! I am really anxious about this bass; I know it looks beautiful, but it's the tone that I think it's gonna kill! The bass should be ready in 10 days or so. I will keep you posted. Thanks and Good Luck with your custom bass (that one is UNIQUE too to say the least!). | ||

Ed, The sound of your bass is going to hit beautiful 'brights' like I never heard any Alembic. Based upon the wood you chosen, I think your bass will have the most unique sound ever created with an Alembic. This is what I truly believe makes your bass most unique. I predict this bass will sound bright, Funky and in the pocket! (Message edited by toma_hawk01 on November 13, 2009) | ||

Well , when I placed the order back in May, Susan said to me over the telephone: "...I don't know why but I get the feeling this bass is going to be a featured custom in our website...". I would love that, however, the competition is fierce, because there are some other Unique basses being built at this time. What I really admire about Alembic, is that they are basically willing to design anything you ask for in a Bass or Guitar. I don't think any other company in the world (not only in the Music Industry but in ANY industry, is so open and flexible). Mica and I are more or less the same age, I ordered my first Series II bass, back in 1990; since then we have kept in touch; there is something very special about this company and about this family (the Wickerhams..."The High Tech Hippies")  ) | ||

I agree completely. An amazing family company that will do their utmost to make your dreams come true. Congrats on your instrument and the fact that they made a maple board is testament to your relationship and character. Play it in good health and inspiration when it arrives. And don't forget to order coffee mugs if you do get cotm! | ||

So I saw James was getting ready to fit the string nut on your bass today:  There are two other Series II basses in line ahead of yours for the final calibration, but maybe at least one will be done before James presents your bass to my dad. | ||

Yeah.....who says a bass must always have exotic woods on the top to be considered beautiful.... Just like some bass lines, SOMETIMES less is more.... Thanks Mica!!! | ||

"reinforced with graphite bars" This bass will soon sustain notes; equal to the sound waves and vibrations of a very strong; and extremely active thunder cloud system. Eduardo, your bass is of beauty and unique innovation (brains). Peace and Love - Hal- | ||

Sure buddy! I don't have the bass yet, I talked to Mica today the bass should be ready next week, but I will gladly play it for you. Is your bass ready? Your bass is certainly VERY original and unique to say the least. Best wishes, Eduardo "Lalo" Garcia |
