Pretty bass.  
 
As for Randy Johnson, I hear he's joining The Boss onstage and will be playing a Steinbrenner bass.
 
Go A's
 
Bill, tgo

[flaxattack]

hey bill
i own a steinbrenner!
speaking of which, i called ns design, neds new place
was told there would be no problem changing the one i bought into a b-e-a-d bass...
and just strings sells just the b string as i got like 5 sets with the bass

[beelee]

Hey Flax,
 
You said you are having trouble getting sets of strings for your Michael Kelly 5 string acoustic electric ?
 
Doesn't Dean Markley make them ? or have they stopped ? ( thats what MK said is on the bass )
 
I have one as well, juststrings.com has them or are they out ?  I haven't checked tho........

[flaxattack]

i havent looked......
if they do have them, i will probably get some
just strings is good on back orders
 
-------
btw
i just realized
they are not many people who can say they had 2 basses at alembic at the same time...
lol-  
damn i love that bass....

[flaxattack]

they have em
ordered a set  
mucho thankos

[flaxattack]

yeahhaaaaaaa
good news!
after inspection, alembic feels that the problem is limited to the finish
the entire bass will be totally stripped down to the wood and refinished.
such nice people they are- they even will take care of 2 small nicks i put in it.
never take a bass off with a ceiling fan over your head.... oye...

[lbpesq]

Great news, Flax.  You should have the Wolf back in no time (fingers crossed).    
 
From personal experience, I can accurately report that the warning about ceiling fans also applies to 4 ft. flourescent bulbs.  Ugly.
 
Bill, tgo

[lbpesq]

Jeff:
 
I visited the Wolf today.  It was hanging in spray, lookin' real fine.  A little naked, though, without any hardware.  
 
Bill, tgo

[flaxattack]

thanks bill........

[flaxattack]

just to let folks know
 
i should have the wolf back next weekish...
its all fixed.......

[David Houck]

Great!!

[tom_z]

Great news Flax! It must have been tough not having the wolf around - but the Alembic team seems to have smoothed it out pretty quickly.

Good news Jeff. Shouldn't be long now. Did alembic elaborate on the cause of the finish problem?
