Of course, I love mine and I got to see some very special ones in NJ, but ...

MAy be this month special:

But I confess my dream Alembic would be a Cocobolo top 6 string Essence Bass with Rogue eletronics (since a Series harness may couldn't fit). I simply love the Essence petite bodie, so you can count Dave's Essence 6 on that too (if you mean some existing Bass a fellow here have).
-
In this order: Serial numbers 47, 16, and 13 (respectively)

The old ones are my favorites.

I have to go with 2 of the early featured customs...

But really, there are too many to pick just one or two!

Nice pic Harold! I was just thinking today about how glocke's SII probably got the most play at the NJ gathering......
Spose, what's the story w/ the carved one? is it a shop night project?!? That's INSANE!!!!!
-
I knew something nice would come from this thread...
Spose, that bass is absolutely breathtaking!
I never seen anything like it. It's going to be hard to top that one... but I am sure its outhere somewhere... (Always a bigger fish...)
Thank you so much for sharing!

Hey Mike, how is our favorite drummer doing? Greg is a lucky guy, but we all are and shouldn't forget it. We had a pretty impressive collection, eh?
This is difficult. Like trying to pick the most beautiful man/woman/car/etc. There is something for every taste and once you get to a certain level the differences are minor.
Who among us would turn down any of these?

Here's a nice one..

Harold, I understand... there are so many beautiful Alembics, but I am sure there's one of them striking your fancy just a little more than the rest...
You can't please everybody anyway... I stop trying a very long time ago, and love myself even more for it!

That black one shown by Keavin has got to be close to the top of my favourite alembics. Although Clarkee's Dragon's breath has to be one bad alembic bass. Here she is with her bad sister, Dragon Magic.

A friendly message:
For those people who are hesitant to post their favorite looking Alembic, I say: send me a private email, and I will post it and not reveal anything but the pictures. I just want people to see all the choice you feel is the BADDEST ALEMBIC.
Email me those picture!
-
Oh my GOODNESS!
It's getting hot!
The temperature is rising...
Enter the Brother, and Sister Dragons!!!
-
Looks like Harold ( post #3 ) has the same dream bass in mind. When I imagine my dream Alembic, I visualize a Series 2 Coco OBS.
-
Dave has my favorite and I doubt he'll be giving it up any time soon!
-
Two of my all time favorites- Marc's 'simple bass'
(http://club.alembic.com/Images/393/69300.jpg)
and Charles' Dragonfly
(http://club.alembic.com/Images/393/69301.jpg)
-
Wow Spose, THAT is a beautifull one!
-
I also believe today's baddest basses could not be if it were'nt for these custom oldies!

Hi serialnumber12 ,
The pic on the top of your post #516 that you posted is the inside of my Old GUILD/ALEMBIC with Pluto filters. I sold that bass around 1979 or so.

Here are more pics of my old Bass.

Here's one I'd like to play for a while.

If I could have just any Alembic in the showcase section, it would definately be this one:

That Bass has a nice glow to the wood.
-
Koa is king
-
That 5string Ebony/graphite SI is amazing! I remember seeing it on the shipping rack at the mothership during my first visit.... I can only imagine how she sounds....
-
The future Baddest.
With all those beautiful basses here, I got tempted to compare The new kid beauty amongst the lot of Champion Thoroughbred Pedigrees.

The AMAZING toma_hawk01 shows up with yet another image !
That's slick man _______COOL !!!!!!

Tom Z, that's cool, I knew of Alembic chopping up Guild basses but I wasn't aware of them butchering Guild guitars too. ;)
Anyway, that modified Guild Aristocrat looks interresting, I'd like to spend some time with that one.
