Title: What color is the velvet case lining in your Alembic?
Post by: coffeegod on May 13, 2004, 07:29:39 PM: I have been continualy amused by the changing case interior colors.. every Alembic I have owned has been different.. the '74 came with purple the 76 was navy blue and the 79 was red/orange. It's the mystery fun when you buy a used Alembic...what color will greet your eyes when you open the case.

Post by: flaxattack on May 15, 2004, 08:13:43 PM: the fender case that i just bought at guitar center, fits my orion with an inch to spare on the each side of the bout, came with a maroon lining and a gold tweed exterior-
for $50 new? its a helluva deal- wrapped in a towel- it fits nice and snug- simce there is no special case for mine- its a better deal than coughin up $200- oh and yes- they were drooling over my baby!

Post by: bassman10096 on August 25, 2004, 08:10:46 PM: My case assumed extraordinary importance to getting my bass delivered this month (no case - no ship). It's black on the outside and the inside.

Post by: kmh364 on August 26, 2004, 12:08:16 PM: Black inside and out. It's an ASA Fight Case (with built-in wheels) that I spec'd (includng the colors) as a factory option from Alembic so that it would ship in safety.

Post by: ox_junior on October 11, 2004, 05:48:59 PM: My '82 Spoiler/Exploiter and my '04 Spyder case interiors are both black. Perhaps that's because they're the same body shape? Who knows.

Post by: David Houck on October 14, 2004, 06:18:07 PM: How about a case with Coco-Bolo top and bottom sides, Ebony ends and handle, and gold plated hardware. And of course an inlaid Alembic logo.

Post by: muller1007 on October 15, 2004, 10:39:45 AM: ....and a pair of sturdy wheels attached in order to pull the case. Carrying it would be a bitch (unless you use a separate gigbag for the bass)!

Post by: David Houck on October 15, 2004, 11:20:27 AM: Yes, the case would probably not leave the house .
Title: What color is the velvet case lining in your Alembic?
Post by: David Houck on October 15, 2004, 11:25:27 AM: And I suppose the wheels would have to be Pirelli tires on gold plated rims. Probably a special order item.
