It's one of the Valentino models, this one is the V-II I believe. (Imagine being immortalized as an Alembic custom body style - how cool is that?).
BC had put this on their web site as a custom order after I got mine - apparently I'm not the only one that liked this unique bass body style. There is another Valentino model (V-I?) that is also out there that is cool as well. I was looking for the triple-O but with a variation and this is what came out of that. I will tell you that everyone that has seen this bass remembers me (Oh! you're the guy with the cool Alembic! - yep that's me).
Anyway, after playing bass again after a long absence I *impulsively* bought a B3/122 and really never looked back. I have learned that I'm a keyboard player at heart and honestly I?m having a great time with it. I don't take the B3/122 on the road since they?re in almost perfect condition so I've invested in a fair amount of equipment to gig with. This bass is just sitting; so it and my rig are on the block - it's purely financial although I don't see myself going back to the bass.
So, that?s the whole story. Like the other Alembics I?ve sold here, I?d love to see this one go to a club member.
