Thanks Harry! Yeah, I kinda did the process backwards, first buying my SCSD, THEN trying out others, but it worked out! I told my wife on the way to Guitar Ressurection that I didn't know if this was such a good idea, playing other Alembics after getting mine, what if I liked them better than mine? As it turned out, it confirmed that I did make the right choice in getting the Signature over the Brown. I love the range of tone I get with the Signature, The Brown sounded good too, but it was more of a woody sound & my Signature is almost piano sounding! I couldn't be happier with my bass!
