Paul (The ARRRRGH One?)

Apparently Bob and I are neighbors (I'm about 2 hours drive from Alembic, ordered mine through Terry at Guitar Showcase) and while mine doesn't SEEM to be taking as long as his did (although, it isn't actually done yet...) my 8 to 10 weeks were up mid December...and my bass is a week or two away from completion. Even if that's true...this will be the longest two weeks of my life...

........I don't think I should complain anymore. I feel I have matured somewhat like fine wine. I will savour the taste of my musky Cuban and delighting in the tantalizing taste of the 1820 Yquem whilst my two hunting hounds bask in the warmth that is thrown from the open fireplace.
There's a knock at the door, echoing through the cavernous hallway dying at the foot of the stairs.
'Who could it be at this un-godly hour?' I ponder to myself. 'Could it be..........??

No it couldn't be coz it's still stuck in f-ing DERBY!!!!

Paul (The ARRRRRGH One), isn't Derby only about 1.5 hours south of you? Saddle up. Put down the uisce beatha, leave the warmth of the fire and go pound on their door.
Patience and maturity are not all they're cracked up to be.

Don't you hate it when the realities of Life interfer with obsessions? It just doesn't seem right somehow.
You painted such an idyllic picture with your hounds and your hallway that I forgot about the business of daily life.

Brother Paul the balled one.

THat's a common problem with us Alembic players: why the f***()(__^>?/*** theis bass doesn't fit into my car???
I always wonder how Brother Paul the fake one manage to do it with his Harley? Maybe with a van behind it??? How does EVH manage to do it with his Lamborghini Diabolo??? Brother Rami must sure have a problem to get his basses in his Corvette?? And now Brother Werner has an Alembic more he will be in trouble with his Porsche.
Aaaaaargh ...life can be SO hard!!!!

Paul the bad one

My Stingray only just fits in the back, at an angle but I have to pack each side of the case so it doesn't damage the leather! Don't be drummer I thought, too much gear to drag around. Be a bass player and buy a 911 I thought......................Bastard!!! If I'm gigging I have to borrow a works car which isn't too bad but it's all about the image...................I am............a victim!!

Hi TBO-Paul,

I wish you were right when you assume that I have a Porsche. Due to my job in the automotive industry I was only driving a Porsche 911 Bi-Turbo test car for a few days. Unluckily I don't own it. I need the money to spend for more Alembics ;-) Back on earth I am driving a Renault Laguna Grandtour. But the case of my MK is indeed the largest and heaviest bass case I ever saw. I guess only the Exploiter style case are larger. Sometimes I wish Alembic would use a lighter material for their cases and make them a little bit more thight fit.

huh ...Brother Werner ...I was kiddin' but admit ...it's a nice sight. Picture: you with the flashy sunglasses, fancy sharp clothing, ready to leave to a gig with your cool sportscar ...with a van hooked up behind LOADED with Alembics, amps, speakers, racks ...
HA!

Paul the bad one

I'm still comfortable with my 7 years old Audi A6 stationcar.

Yeah, cool man. I luv' it ! Especially with a Bi-Turbo. This nice little puppy has more than 500hp and goes easily over 300km/h (approx. 200MPH). I was driving this on Sunday morning 5am on a completely empty autobahn. Believe me, your adrenaline reaches absolutely spectacolous levels. When you come back to 120km/h you get the impression as if the car is almost parking. But we had that in another thread.

BTW: I didn't forgot the EPIC pics but I have a little trouble with my digicam. They will come soon ....

Did somebody say Porsche? My Series 1 fits in my Porsche along with my Epic, a Mesa/Boogie 400+ and a 2x10 speaker box, you guys are just not driving the right Porsche.
