I am the proud owner of an Alembic small wooden box that was offered for sale on the website a few years back. mine is number B-29. I am wondering if anyone else has one of these and if you want to share some pictures or details on them. Just curious. If interested I will work on getting some pictures posted.

I do own a few of those boxes, and we'll actually have 10 of them for sale in the store soon. I'll get around posting some pictures of mine in the near future. B-29 is actually the model number.

What does the box do, other than (I'm sure) have exceptional craftsmanship and, uh, hold things?

Huh ...o-ho MIke ...they are SPECIALLY designed in a well chosen format.
I you fill the box with 100$ bills the box will be full the moment you reach the amount of money for an exact JE-Exploiter Series 3 copy WITH full Gothic notes inlays on the fingerboard.

I hear the box is the perfect size for a pair of stockings, though!

This sounds like something one would special-order made from the remaining pieces of the wood used for the top of your custom bass.

Now lets see:
My head goes in the stocking, the stocking goes in the box, so my head will go in the box

Right ...I'll drill some peep-holes in the box and off I go to the next bank.
With a nice box I will definitely collect more money!!!!!

I would guess that if you rapped it with your knuckles you could get a nice percussive tone; mic'd and run through an SF-2 to round out the low end and smooth out the top, followed by a touch of reverb; then a nice Crown and an Acme.

I'm certainly interested. Coco Bolo...? Pleeease...!

I'd like to run a stereo DI out from one of these and run it through my Trace Elliot with maybe a touch of compression plus my tube overdrive. Betcha it rips.

Are these the same boxes that are on the website now, available at Cafe Press? I bought 2 of those. One for me and one for my bassist.....he bought my Epic and needs something small to help him save money again....
