Gorgeous.
Not just a bass, this is an Alembic!

Boy, that’s a lot of knobs in a little space!  This has both individual PU on/off switches AND a PU selector switch?   Seems a little redundant to me.   The logo is quite pretty.

Bill, tgo

Yeah I thought so too, but if the rotary PU selector switch was only a mute and on switch or left in the "both pickups on "position, then that would kind of make sense.

There's a lot to like about that guitar, starting with that birdseye maple and those three purpleheart neck laminates. Add the claro walnut back, and it has some of the favorite traits of my favorite Alembics combined in one awesome guitar. Sure 'nuff... I got "an offer from seller" as I'm sure some of you did, I guess because I'm watching it on Reverb.  ::)


Nah. Pass. Before Pretty Peggy-O hears my guineas clink, I'd just as soon have Mica's bunch build an Ed of H. Signature guitar;)

I'd like to see under the hood - this is just before I started taking pictures of EVERYTHING.

This incredible Series II is now sold... found a happy new home in Japan.
The new owner is extremely pleased.
