Loving the Alembic

Hi and welcome

DO you have an e-bay link, I really want to see the description

Yep, another one here going to pick one of these up

Wow, unbelievable. You are better off not being there

Nice

It just occured to me that I have relatives in Larencetown, which is west of Halifax in Newfoundland

Got it from the bass centre in Wapping in 2000 and there were three to choose from, all with Ebony boards:

Buckeye burl is amongst my favourite finishes

Very, very nice. Makes me want to order one....must resist, must resist

[quote name='Beedster' post='840577' date='May 18 2010, 10:05 AM']Somewhere in darkest north east England there is a very pretty piece of ash with my name on it. It's shaped, coincidentally enough, like a Precision bass. So, I have a blank Precision body, and although I'll be more than happy to let the builder in question do everything pretty much as Leo did 60 years ago, I'm considering a few minor deviations from the traditional. Anyone got any interesting ideas? Chris[/quote] How about a different name on the headstock

Personally if I had the extra cash, a Markbass F1 would be in my collection. Very small, very light, and a tight punchy tone.[/quote] I have a Markbass F500 as my 'back up' - and sometimes I use it anyway as it is a great amp

[quote name='Musicman20' post='841426' date='May 18 2010, 09:40 PM']Id choose the Markbass over the Genz Shuttle, but thats just me. It 'sounds' much fuller and they rate the wattages a little more normally with Markbass so its seems louder despite being rated lower![/quote] +1

Welcome aboard

I have a Thumb NT and it's a great bass so no apologies needed. Welcome aboard

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='838176' date='May 15 2010, 02:58 PM']It's taken me ages to find this thread! I just wanted to share a few images I snapped on my phone yesterday evening. My 1978 all original Mocha, My 1989 MIJ (with replaced CIJ neck) tobacco sunburst and my 2006 orange anniversary model. I also own the 51RI but didn't have a 4th stand to put it on! Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone thought the collection lacked maple (my 89 P-bass was maple until Wednesday).[/quote] Nice
