Hi. I just bought an Alembic bass from my boss yesterday and I'd like to know a little about it, mainly the types of woods it's made of and the history. Thanks.

Dave, I was looking at your band's website, listening to some tunes, and I must say, I like it alot. I'll be visiting the site again when I get home this evening.
