This guy has been with me since it was built in '08. It's my second custom Alembic. As always, Susan and Mica were phenomenal and truly treated me like family. I meant to start this thread long ago, but didn't get it done. Actually, it's better now because I can report this bass has been a major event in my musical craft. I enjoy it enormously and constantly get compliments on it's sound and looks. It has been to some really good gigs and some dives. I've developed a side interest in graphite necks (one G Gould with EMGs and a Warmoth body/Status neck with Villex electronics). The Gould and the Brown Bass share about equal gig time. But every time I switch in the Alembic, it's like talking to an old friend. Recently, I broke down and bought a set of Pyramid flats for the BB - glad I did. They are exceptional strings, if you like a woody, semi-Motown, old Phil Lesh/Jack Casady sound. Anyway - here are the details: '08 Brown Bass, gold hardware.

What a beauty
Is that Myrtle for the body core?
-
Yup. It's myrtle. Who'da thunk it could sound so good. I've been playing my BB exclusively (getting reacquatinted) after a Modulus Q5 hiatus. It never ceases to amaze me how smooth, warm and still punchy the mahogany neck sounds with the myrtle body.

How did I miss this. it's a superb bass. I like the position of the neck pickup you must get some serious bottom end from that bass.
A well spec'd bass
