Hello everyone it's been a while
« on: May 06, 2013, 05:06:03 PM »
Just want to say hello to all here, its been a while, so I hope everyone is doing well with their chops, playing and gig..I was busy dabbing in some business venture so time was very rare to have free. Now I am trying to take back some me time before my name appears here John Judge R.I.P seeing too much of that lately and approaching the 60 mark does make it more a sooner reality then later. Well I just want to say hello and sincerely wish everyone successful endeavors . I ran into a guy in Florida the other day and asked me a question no one asked me before, he said what made me choose Alembic to build my Bass and asked if I ever played one before  having it built...So the answer is I saw a little ad somewhere in a guitar mag, and I remember the logo seeing it on Jerry's guitar and thought to myself, I bet they can build me a type of Bass Im looking for, so then I called and got the ball rolling, well after back and forth with some design shooting around the double neck was born...but the answer is NO! I bought Alembic Sight unseen, never played one prior to my purchase but to me it was obvious that the quality and craftsmanship was superb, a cutting edge above the rest, I mean I was playing a Gibson ripper and BC rich 8 string prior to that instrument...I just knew it was gonna be great quality, and it was and still is, not a sales pitch just stating a fact. Enjoy your Alembics everyone its the Rolls Royce of Bass. Peace to all and great success, and  wanna say Hello especially to Art, Dave and Adam, Kris and of course Mica, wish u all much success, I am now residing in the Orlando area if anyones near by and wanna get together sometime. get in touch with me. John

Hello again, John.
We met at the Chicago Gathering in 2009, and it's good to see you're still kicking and getting some me time. Keep the positive vibe, Life isn't over at 60 and there's still alot of musical fun to be had...
