Trade accomplished. It was very nice to meet Tom and his wife. She is also an Alembic Skylark owner. How's that for when you get GAS!
Tom, I hope you enjoy the Stanley and play it in good health.

Good stuff- play them in good health everyone!

Danno,

Congratulations! You now have enough Alembic sixes to start a breeding program of your own. If they do reproduce in your studio in the dark of the night, could I have the pick of the litter?

Aren't they all female? I'm very fortunate to have [in Alembic] 4 6's (2 wide, 2 narrow 3 Spoiler and now an Elan) 6 5's ( 1 Distillate, 2 Essense, 3 Excel) 2 4's (Spoiler and Exploiter) and a 7 with a Skylark on the way. Now to find homes for my non-Alembic family!

The Elan set up beautifully to my usual 1/2 step down playing. Relieved the neck, lowered the bridge and nut and adjusted the pups. Very easy to play with the wide jazz spacing. 2 1/2 at the nut 3 1/2 at the 24th. I always loved this model in the old catalog. This bad mamma-jamma is just about 4 feet from top to bottom. Oh, btw the extra switches are bass-treble boost/cut.
I'm going to use it on a cover of James Brown's Santa Claus, Come Straight to the Ghetto.
Thanks again Tom for making the trade possible.

Hi Danno,
The pleasure was all mine this morning,it was great meeting you and having a chance to speak with you. I am very happy to hear you are loving the Elan... it is truly a beauty! May you also play her in good health...

I just walked in so Im going to play my SC deluxe now, this bass is perfect for me and was just what I was looking for, it is again beautiful and very easy to play.

Took it to practice tonight (wearing my new black Alembic tee).
It sounded great. Tight with great sustain. Should record nicely next week for the Christmas ep and collectors vinyl to be released around the holidays. i must say I'm liking the DR's you put on it.

I would love to hear the track once you get it done, Did you say vinyl! Should sound killer, fatter and warmer than usual.
Glad you like the DR's, Ive been switching back and forth between TI powerbass and DR(Millers)these days.
