Yes Mica, this bass is currently on its way to me in Philly. Since my artist rep deal expired with Zon, a few more years ago than I care to think about, I have been looking for another high end bass to play and experiment with. This will be my very first Alembic. I'm jumping out of my skin waiting for it to land. Hopefully I will be hitting the stage with it on March 3rd. If I don't have some fun with it playing some Dead in Jamaica in February first. Thanks Dave!
