Post by: crgaston on November 07, 2007, 05:08:44 PM: Wow..it's great to see all these cool features explained, and I know this has got to be one of the longest waits for an Alembic ever. I'm glad this one finally made it to you. What a truly unique marriage of caftsmanship and design! Monty will be blowing some minds for sure if you take him gigging!

P.S.
There's a joke in here somewhere correlating the suspension bridges with huge...tracts of land, but I'm not clever enough to make it happen tonight.

Sheep do not so much fly as plummet.
Fetche la mush....Fetche la mush!
Act of the purest optimism to suggest it in the first place.
Do you in fact have any cheese at all?
No sir, I was deliberately wasting your time.

Bridge is the coolest, polished pickups are perfect. Well done.

Post by: cozmik_cowboy on November 08, 2007, 02:50:03 PM: Oh, look - there's a penguin on the monitor! No, wait, it's a black bass (let's hope it doesn't explode!).
Very nice! The suspension bridge seems to me to be about the most elegant thumbrest ever - and it's even mirrored for the lefties! I've heard custom bike bulders talk about effect customs (paint & chrome and little else) and detail customs (where you do things like relocate the oil line fixtures on the cases to get your look). This is most definitely a detail custom.
Congrats - its COTM status is most deserved.

Post by: glocke on November 09, 2007, 03:54:29 AM: I gotta admit, Ive seen some nice customs over the years, some of which have given me ideas for a custom of my own, but this one is by far my favorite. The ebony is absolutely stunning.

Post by: the_8_string_king on November 09, 2007, 04:47:29 PM: Congrats, again, Marc! It's an awesome bass, and it continues to impress every time I see it! Congrats again on joining the Custom of the Month Club... your awesome custom is one of the most distinctive and original Alembics ever!

I like the Night Rider comment! I totally see it... especially with the LEDs! All it needs is to capacity to talk to you in a gay voice!
