Title: Waiting for my first Alembic Mark King Signature 2002 Walnut Burl
Post by: Basssman46 on August 23, 2017, 01:55:47 PM

Hello Alembic fans,

In about 2/2,5 weeks I finally will receive  my biggest bass wish for so many years!!! It's a Mark King Signature bass build in 2002 Walnut Burl and I can't wait to bring this piece of finest art home! At this moment Sims in the UK is replacing the red side leds with blue ones and I also asked to add blue front leds as well (right now I own also a Status S2 Classic bass with red front leds so this time I have choosen  blue front/side leds)

I want to thank Edwin van Huik, http://www.connectionbult.com/wp/, very much because when I was looking for such a Alembic bass and send him an email, he replied already within 5 minutes that he has got a Mark King signature bass in his shop so I was and still am sooooooo verrrrrrrry happy!!! Thx Edwin!!!

Of course I will post some action pics when my Alembic is finally at home: here are already 2 pics of my first Alembic bass! Cooooooool!!!

Still some days to go....................impatiently.............LOL...........

Cheers from The Netherlands!

Wim

Well that sure looks a lovely bass. I hope you get as much joy out of it as we all have with our signature basses.
Good to make your  dreams come true.

I love walnut as a top wood.  And yours appears to have a crazy radiating pattern that looks like its coming out of the bridge.  Gorgeous!

Hi guys/girls!

Here are the first pics taken at SIMS - Kent - Great Britain of my customized Alembic Mark King Signature with blue side/front leds!
For now I have to wait for my Alembic piece of art to return again at Hilversum at Edwin van Huik's bass shop and hopefully it'll be before this weekend so I can take her finally home!!! ;)

It's verrrry hard to stay patient these last days..........LOL!!! :)

Cheers!

Wim
