I'm no good at things like this at all, (I could pile-on with a clever pun...) but the thread has made me wonder if, given the creative/imaginative/artistic leanings of Alembic Mgt. have they ever needed or availed the company of any outside marketing?
Like those famous Volkswagen ads, that had a full-page picture of a car, and one or two bold words... the product really sells itself. If you already know what it is, then you only have to spec one out and have them build it. There's actually a lot more choices now than ever before. The only reason I have this picture is, the bass pictured is the serial number immediately following my Custom. The ad copy though, makes the same statement... logo, model, product.
