It has been a very long time since I posted, but I had something I finally thought was worth sharing. After a very long hiatus of not owning an Alembic, I am now lucky enough to have been loaned one. I'll be heading into the studio in late June at the request of some friends. I don't usually play bass, but I knew that if I was going to do it, there was only really one instrument. It's a Elan -tulip wood and ash with purpleheart neck laminates. It's 34" in scale and just one of the coolest and most fun instruments I've ever played. I sold it to a good friend, and now I regret it. I don't have many custom instruments, but I have a few. I would say that while different, the Alembic is just beautiful and it is a real treat to play some Parliament Funkadelic (plus a whole lot of Phil Lesh).
Best Wishes to all weirdos, pyschonauts, and fellow musicians.
