I'm thinking of repaining my alembic bass to solid white. So I'm Searching alembic bass which painted in solid color-not transparent-, but it's hard to find pics of it. Do you guys have solid-color painted alembic bass?
*Oh, I forgot to write this-except solid black color bass. Because solid black color is quite popular option in Alembic bass, and I saw bunch of black Alembic. Even my alembic is solid black, too!

There was a Becvar painted white discussed a while back. I think it might have been in the seen for sale area here. Becvar's can look very much like Alembics.

Hey woolimwoo... just so you are aware of your choices as far as a refinish.... the Alembics with painted/colored bodies are clear finished before the color is sprayed on. This means that you also have the choice of going back to the natural wood since none of the color is applied to the wood, color is over a clear finish.

It can be a lot of tricky work to remove a topcoat of color without burning through the coat underneath it though. I just did it to a Rick that had a coat of rattle can white sprayed over the original white finish, which had yellowed. It was just the top of the body and not the rest of the bass, but it was still a PITA.
