If I weren't a musician( I use this term loosely), I would be very worried about that post!
 
All kidding aside, congrats on still having such a beautiful bass David! Sounds like you take very good car of her

Paul TGO, i TRIED to make it SEXY because putting your hands on an Alembic is just about as good as SEX, and I've had that bass 3 years longer than my wife, and I'm going to keep them both

Gorgeous bass, Dave.  
Happy to see another blonde. I have a short scale blonde and I think she is definitely more fun.

Thanks Andy, they do yellow with age, but they still look great. When I bought mine in 1976 I had a choice, mine or one just like yours, well I took the large body, and have wanted a short scale small body Alembic to add to my small collection.  
Welcome to the club.

Hey Dave.
Thanks for the welcome. I do miss my large body short scale. It was definitely more comfortable to play but as I don't do live gigs anymore its not an issue. I just wish I hadn't sold it all those years ago.
Classic story... six basses and a new baby. Something had to give.
 
But man, I LOVE the look of your large body blonde.
 
Cheers,
Andy

Very pretty bass that looks like it has been in good hands for a long time. I've always wanted a series bass with a pretty maple top as they look so nice. However, they have just never presented themselves when I was in the market so its, walnut, bubinga and koa for me.
