Too funny. You are giving the Brown Plantation way too much credit. I will post pics of my MK 5 later in the week. Truth be told, we moved in last year and the landscaping had not been maintained since 1923. The landscaping which you see in the pics is the only area which I have redone so far. I work at the rate of about 20 feet (6m) per week ripping out, recutting beds, selecting plants and replanting.

Thanks Bob, picked it up today, it is beautiful?thanks so much cheers heaps?
I think Ill put some new strings on her soon, and thanks for the allen keys..and for being genuine !! you rock!
Im just getting used to her? I plugged her into a countryman d.i and direct into the EAW 4 way 4000 watt p.a on stage and fed her through some Claire brother bi-amp wedges on stage and let her rip after I finished mixing the show tonight? she sounded very good although new strings will make a huge diffence.

Customs cost me 13% of $4300 (newzealand value of the bass (coversion of $3000 u.s)
expensive but worth it so far!! heh heh

Very well done Ben,

An outstanding Alembic bass for sure! I wish you much happiness with your beautiful new axe!

What a feeling it must have been when you collected it and removed the packaging..awesome.

John.
