The Starburst DW is home. Here are some pictures. It will take me some time to set this up, so I will report back later. Out of the box and controls at full throttle, it just kicks a$$. I love the long-ness of the neck. I love the small details like how the gloss finish transitions from the back of the body to the flat finish on the back of the neck.

Where are the knobs and jacks? That's beautiful! It's awesome that those controls are hidden.

Don't know if I'd go for that knobless look myself, but that is one beautiful instrument. Is that a dummy Humcanceller?

Congrats!

Hey Oliver, if you ever make it on this side of the pond, you will have to try out your DW?s sister bass.

Chuck and Sam it has a side jack and rear controls.

I will try to take some good photos of the back plate with the control slots late.

I cannot say it enough how team Alembic just got every detail down that I wanted.

Many Thanks.

I'm guessing you must not make many changes to your settings... Nice quilt.

Once I find the ?sweet spot? on an instrument, I rarely change it.

Truely a beautiful bass, and a spledid collection as well.
Enjoy!

That is awesome! I like the look. I'm with you on finding that sweet spot.

On my basses, it's usually the sweat spot.

Beautiful bass!
