It's easier to wait for an Alembic when you already have one...
 
I'll second that, Flax!!!! I don't think I could survive the torture without the Little Bear.

Agreed.
 
Buying an Epic has increased my patience.  I'm thinking seriously about starting to play the double bass.  That might help, too.
 
Bradley

well if things go as planned
scooter may be heading to ct end of week
 
brad if you are thinking bout double bass take a good look at the ns design
www.nedsteinberger.com
 
i have the 5 string cr-5m
and they pop up on ebay

Jeff,
 
Good news on Scooter!
 
If I'm going to do the DB thing, I think I'm going to go all the way-- rather do that, and then switch to something like the Steinberger than try the other way.  Besides, the acoustic thing is appealing.
 
You'll have received two basses for my not-yet one.  I'm going DB shopping, that's it.
 
Bradley

Can't go wrong With DB. Strengthens fingers, adds a mare to the stable, makes you use your ears too..There is another thread going on just that right now.
You are patient no doubt.
Flax...very cool!!!!

It's a stunning beauty, Flax, and adding a bass control to the modified Signature electronics is a winning electronics package for sure!
 
And yeah, it sure is less stressful waiting for a custom Alembic when you've already got one.  'Course I just ordered mine, but I'm mentally just kicked back and waiting for when my time comes!

thanks charlie
just hoping it sounds as good as it looks
even though its an alembic, am antsy to hear it of course. i am always twiddling with the bass so it made sense(thank you mica)to add it on the bass
the minor trade off was no stereo jack and that was no big deal in my eyes

val thinks it might be finished friday....

That's today!!!  Fingers crossed for you Jeff.
 
Graeme

same here graeme
hopefully the photo gods will deliver
:-)

mission scrubbed,,,,,
game called because of rain....
 
truss rod cover needs another coat of spray

After we spoke, I actually got around playing it.
 
It sounds real good Jeff, quite punchy. I think you'll like it...lots.
 
Valentino

Rub it in, Valentino.  
 
i.e. You'll like it a lot, I'll just be playing it here for a while.  There's an issue with the, um,  truss rod cover, yeah that's it...
 
Bradley

lmao  
good one brad........
 
the old truss rod excuse
 
why didnt i think of that......

Not quite as good as the Chewbacca defense, but possession is 9/10ths.
 
Just ask Bill, TGO.
 
Bradley
PS- I know that jokes don't work if you have to explain them, but the word play around possession was too good to miss.
