Yep.
We had this gold colored Series here once remember? I love it as a stage-bass. It makes part of a visual show. Of course the sound is there too!

I think you are talking about this picture:

It's a custom bass, not quite a Europa. Vector body shape, double P pickups, Signature electronics, LEDs, and lovely Arctic White. This bass was stolen from our NAMM show display, and thankfully recovered, though it suffered some dings.

That's my old bass! I built it while I worked at Alembic.It has a Vector body with a super carved heal,L.E.D.'s,signature electronics,and the jack is on the bottom next to the strap button.It is serial number 5000.

Hey John, good to see you on the club.
 
That bass returned to the mothership last year, when the gentleman who bought it from John decided to visit us; it needed a little TLC to take care of one nasty headstock chip, but it's looking great now.

Hey Valentino,

Hey John,
 
the Flowergirl was just too cute for words; sorry we didn't get to hang out  more.
 
As to the bass...Susan & Mica both said :That's John 's bass. the moment they saw it, and, as I recall, you told me it was yours as well.    Plus I am familiar with what passes for your sense of humor...purple, yeah, right.

Hi Valentino,
  I REALLY did refinish it in a candy purple!!! It had gotten stolen at NAMM one year,and I got it back,but it was pretty macked-up,so a few years later a friend of mine refinished it for me! I really wish I still had it,it was a KILLER bass and believe it or not,looked great in purple!
