Val or Mica may want to add their comment to this. Alembic is a small company, where many folks have multiple responsibilities. In addition to her many other jobs, Mica is the keeper and guardian of the Alembic website. I've bugged Mica personally in past months about when she would be posting the new month's special (because those who are thinking about ordering are curious and get impatient). Suffice it to say, in all those cases, Mica has been tied up taking care of priority business for customers and others whose needs were more urgent (i.e. taking care of details to get construction started on someone's new bass).
I always went away agreeing with Mica's sense of priorities. Not that it was any of my business - it's her and the others' company! But I have always found that Alembic places the highest priority on their customers' most immediate needs. Having spent a bit of time dealing with Alembic, I am glad they do! Sometimes (often) that means we have to wait for things like the new monthly special or the Featured Custom to be posted. It's worth the wait, but when you are anxiously waiting to see whether this is the month you will order something, its frustrating just the same.
Anyway - that's my two cents.
Bill, the bass one (TBO? What do you think, Paul?)
