Moments after Keith arrived on Sunday:
 

 
And there was much rejoicing!

Such a great pic !

That is absolutely wonderful! Congratulations!

AWESOME!!!!!!!

I'm so happy with the bass! It has far exceeded what I imagined.  
I'm very grateful to all the people at Alembic for making my long held dream come true.  
It plays like a dream, and the tone is fat, round, even and balanced. I could not be happier!

Congrats, once again! That's been my experience with a Starfire with this kind of modification. I think the bridge alone adds a huge amount to the basic tonal improvements. The original Starfire bridges are a huge source of loss of energy. With the sustain block and brass bridge, the whole bass resonates. I can only imagine that the ebony fretboard increases the crispness and definition and I'm sure the electronics are just superb. With so much going on with the harmonic structure of the tone, the filters have a lot of material with which to work. I love being able to focus in on different parts of the attack of each pickup with the filters. This is one bass I really want to experience in person! Thanks for doing this.
 
Oh yeah, it looks really cool, too!

A couple more pics from the glorious day.  

 

Thanks Edwin!  
I did a gig with Scott Law last night, and while it was an acoustic show, I used my new bass for the rehearsal which was a lot of fun. We are scheming on doing gigs with it in the future.  Scott also raved about your tone. We definitely need to get our basses together!

I think it's time for Scott to book a Colorado tour and hire you!

That is a sweet looking final project.  It's so cool seeing the steps involved.  One impressive looking bass!

Congratulations Keith! The look on your face says it all!

Awesome to see it finished. It looks great. Lets get a sound clip!

I still want to hear this thing... 

That looks amazing, and makes me want to get 76ac070 out of the case for a few gigs. I can forsee a waiting list for alembicised guilds forming now...

Sorry I haven't posted a clip yet! A while ago I had someone stuff the guts of an SF2 inside, so there are a few more knobs now :-). It's quite the dangerous bass! My Dead band, The Golden Road will be playing all of Europe 72, June 29 in Seattle at Nectar..... any forumites are welcome to come and give it a try!
