Write a tag line

[dnburgess]

I need some help from you creative types. I will be running some magazine ad.s in Australia for Alembic and am interested on club member suggestions for a tag line. So far I like:
Learn to dream differently
 
I'd like to hear your suggestions.

OK, maybe not that one!

Hmmm. I used to be in marketing for a Fortune 500 hundred company. One way to sell a customer is to empower them to believe that they are right. So, instead of suggesting that they dream differently, they should be motivated to dream, period. When it comes to tone, your dreams come true on an Alembic. Or From your heart, through your hands, to their ears, Alembic has the tone your dreams are made of. Get the idea?
 
Or the hard sell (as seen in New York)- You ARE gunna buy dis here bass- right? (to the sound of the salesman's knuckles cracking).
 
Well, play around with some ideas. Just ask yourself what would motivate you to take a look at an Alembic?
 
...thoughts...

Hey, how about this-
 
Alembic basses, in touch with you or Alembic basses- your sound- now. Your tone, now- Play an Alembic bass. Do you want to be a laurie driver all your bleedin' life? Buy an Alembic and see the world....uh, maybe not that one.

What's a magazine?  You mean those old paper things people used to read before the Internet took over the world?  I guess anyone who can afford to buy magazines these days can afford to buy an alembic.  
 
Words have never sold me like graphics do.  Especially if the graphic has someone I want to be like in it.  Therefore a quote from Stanley or Mark King would have inpact on me.  But mainly, I just look at the pictures.  No help here.

No worries mate: down under it's Alembic all the way.

Alembic: What other basses aspire to be

[bracheen]

I'm guessing that you'll be advertising all Alembic products, not just basses?

[elzie]

Alembic; The reason strings were invented  
 
Or  
 
Alembic; Every strings dream home
 
Now here's one that goes out on a limb!
 
Santa Rosa. Valhalla for trees, heaven for the rest of us

Played them all? Have the instrument you really want.
The world may not know your name, but they'll know your sound.
Alembic. There is no other.

It's one of my favourite quotes whatsoever, which I also use in my forum-profile, because it describes the 'Alembic-virus' best for me personally. But actually it's from the lyrics of a Guided By Voices song:  
 
The Closer You Are, The Quicker It Hits You

This is a violation of a brand name, but I can not resist:  Not all Lamborghinis are cars...

[adriaan]

Wait a minute ...
 
If not all Lamborghinis are cars then are you not implying that not all Alembics are basses, guitars or pre-amps?
 
And knowing that Lamborghini started building cars as a side-line to its successful line of farm machinery, aren't you comparing Alembics to farm machinery?
