Thanks Bill! This is obviously without the red Elan 5. After hearing the Europa 6 I want to see if I can somehow make the ?lan sound like that. I love the ?lan , hate the B string. So some type of surgery must be done. I'd hate to change pickups or electronics brands but after having it for almost 20 years something has got to give.

Bill,
 
If you like angus burgers, you will not be disappointed.  The wings are excellent,too (I'm from Buffalo and therefore an authority on all wing-related matters).
 
That's about as far as I've gotten through the menu, 'cause when you get right down to it, burgers and wings are pretty much all a guy needs.

I'm in Michigan too, I'm sure there are more Alembics in the state than what can be found on this board. I hardly even check out the club anymore.

Damn nice bass you have there too, good sir. maybe there are more people that play alembic than I know. I don't play out anymore since I'm trying to finish school. Even when I did play out, people didn't even know what I was playing (the Elan). the few people that did comment thought that it was a Yamaha lol! but then again I was playing metal, and it wasn't even talented then. and before everyone jumps on and starts bashing metal; I agree at least 99.99% of metal is garbage. but in the tiny 100th of a percent there is truly talented and beautiful music and musicians. now getting them together and keeping egos in check.... I degress to finishing school and recording myself LOL  but now I'm a grown up with a real life. I have always liked all kinds of music so if Mr. Ganque you have a show or know of any actual good music in the dirty mitten let me know I'll give it a shot. I've been to only a handful of shows around here since I stopped playing out and it's pretty @#$#@@& aweful. I don't see how they can be so bad both as a band and as individual musicians, keep doing it for years/decades, wear the funny clothes, and still think they are the best musician/band ever?! Also for the record I don't think that I'm great either, I'm just me. I'd say on a scale of 1-10 musically (10 being the best) I'm probably a 4. someday I'll have more time to do two hand tapping and whatever but right now I practice about an hour a week if that. Kids, wife, school, life, all come before me. I hope to hear from you guys and maybe we can go check out some good music.
