Within the last 2 weeks I have received the cherry sunburst and the blueburst basses. They are both amazing - the build quality at Alembic keeps getting better! Every Alembic I play is better built than the last one, and every time I think they have achieved perfection I am blown away again.
These basses are also beautiful to look at, especially the blueburst bass which seems to change colors depending upon the viewing angle. The pictues above do not do them justice. I will try to get some decent photos and post them soon, but Mica is pretty good with the jpegs so I don't know if I can do better.
I have also posted my review of the ebony neck laminates here

I am a very lucky player!
