Shoji,  
What an elegant Bass.  
I'm sure that you are thoroughly enjoying Red Tiger!  
Another real beauty by a company that thrives on making the highest quality of bass.
Congratulations!  Play it Healthy!

Alembic shows their complete and awesome dedication by making beauty after beauty. I am never bored by looking at picture after picture of this fine craftsmanship.  As I've stated before where else can we see this type of documentation on something made for us as individuals.  Thanks for another gorgeous instrument for the world to enjoy.  And again enjoy it Shoji!

Very nice. Must be a warm sounding bass with all that vermillion. Congrats.

Absolutely love every detail. It's my January computer screen background pinup. Just beautiful.

That's so cool, I love it!  My knock-around Alembic is a near duplicate from '03 with Europa electronics and no back laminate.  I can tell you that the wood is beautiful in its simplicity and the sound is marvelous.  Shoji, you've designed a versatile instrument of which you will never tire!

Another greatly crafted bass and it takes me back to the 70's when I first clapped eyes on Stan's bass..it does look very retro apart from the re positioned pu selector.
Congratulatons on your purchase of such a fine bass

I'm going to make a desktop background with it...  Nice touch on the gold logo.  Because I appear to have a little too much free time, and I can't practice while I'm at work.

I just love that orange look of the vermillion.  I'm tickled for Shoji, but so help me, I could NEVER put that strap button in the middle of the neck joint!
