I wanted to add that Phil and his music led me here. Before I got my first Alembic in 21 I was telling my best friend how happy I was with my bass collection. He off mentioned, "Hey, what about Phil man? You don't own an Alembic". I agreed and found my fretless Orion that eventually became one of four Alembic basses. And this wonderful community of people. I'm so thankful for this gift, Phil!!
