Let me be the first Flip;


Congratulations & Compliments, man. I know you have been in line a while now. All the sacrifices worth it too, I bet. I wish you both many loud gigs.  8)

I saw the Facebook post, congrats it's a beauty!!
The bass player’s function, along with the drums, is to be the engine that drives the car… everything else is merely colours.

Well you did it Flip, the bass of your dreams built by the best in the business. What could be better. I know how awesome black basses can look so i hope you get some great gigs to let that beauty be heard and seen. Oh... well done Alembic for making yet another dream come true.
The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

Thanx all :-)

That logo is stunning, the rays have silver linings. Makes them shine crazy, extremely nice irl. (check it out on the Spoiler Jonny, very nice subtle detail)

I went back and listened to the isolated track of your Elan 5 Custom "Blackened" in the Showcase... there is just an extra degree of clarity to your SII here. And it it could be you were just going for something a bit darker on "God That Failed", but I can definitely hear it. I am guessing you will use these two basses to counter each other, as they are quite different-sounding. I bet they do feel/play remarkably similar. Well done, FC... quite an upgrade, my friend.  8)
