Hey is that a David Eden 2 x 10 cab I spy on the top of your rig?

great model. You know that the late John Entwistle (Who) played similar shapes of Alembics in SII model? Far more customized (a radically V-shaped peghead is the smallest customizing and amazing use of inlays and woods ) but basically the same. he once posed with that beauty in an old Bass-player magazine. The one with the Entwistle collection. You should see it.

Post by: hieronymous on January 08, 2016, 09:56:46 AM: Very cool! I have heard that he doesn't like to sign instruments, though it can be done - I had him sign the back of mine (SC Signature). Did you do anything to protect the signature?

I have also heard that he didn't actually play the black Exploiter on the album, just used it for the photo shoot. Always loved that bass though!

Post by: rubyredspoiler on January 08, 2016, 12:08:07 PM: I played a Black Exploiter that had been Stanley's, at the Alembic Booth, at the 1985 Winter NAMM Show. I could have bought it for $1000.00 It didn't have White pickups though!
