Since I already startet my history-request here in the club, it is time to say hello to everybody and tell a bit of myself.
I'm Thomas from Germany, 46 years old, married and have one daughter age 12.... and I play bass since the mid 90`th.
I owned already many different basses and at the moment I've got a Boulder Creek acoustic, a Squier Mustang, a Gibson EB-3 (1975),
a Rickenbacker 4003, a Epiphone Jack Casady Signature and my "new" Alembic Essence.
I'm always searching for my "holy grail" bass....maybe it will be the Alembic......
The first time I was playing the bass was in a RocknRoll band called "The Foggy Mountain Rockers" back in 1994, where I startet as the saxophon-Player, but then the bass-man quit...I grabbed the bass....learnt how to play....and became the bass-man.....then 1998 I quit the band and startet playing the bass in a Irish-folk band, and finally in 1999 the the last three former members of that irish band established the bank "mr.bones.......and we still exist :-)

By the way......Alembic basses are built in Santa Rosa, CA ......in 1991 I lived a couple of month in Santa Rosa as a Exchange Student and went to the Santa Rosa High School.........I loved that town :-)
Cheers, Thomas
