Oh my! That is sexy!
I wish it didn’t have the original owners initials as an inlay.
That's one of the easiest of all custom options to undo. I sure wouldn't let it stop you if I you're seriously attracted to this bass... it'd be a fraction of the cost to just have a luthier inlay a square of ebony between the 11th and 12th frets, and order a correct size pearl oval from Alembic to go in there. Or have your initials put there for a while. While you're at it, might as well pick up a new backplate.
As much as this guy loves Omega-cut Alembics, the Triple-O doesn't do it for me. I would however, LOVE to show up at a bluegrass gig with it. Or an Spyder/Exploiter. Either one.
