I like it too. It looks really fresh. Uncle Bob's music is in my neighborhood. They told me about someone who ditched someone else's very highest end bass (a very familiar name) to build what turned out to be a less expensive custom Alembic. I guess this could be the one. The buyer's comment to Susan about entry level Alembic vs someone else's $8K custom fits the story I heard. My humble opinion: There are other basses out there that deliver value, but this story says something important about Alembic. Neat bass, neat story.
