I love to see the relatively simple and elegant instruments featured like this. An instrument doesn't need a rougher coastline than Norway or a square foot of shell inlay to be truely special. This one looks like it nailed it dead on!

Congrats!

All of Bob's lavaburst paint jobs are soooo awesome, like looking into the earth's core. Congrats Alain!

Nice to see an Alembic with a finish which not only shows off the wood but looks great too.
To me is has that vintage but new look.
Bet is sounds as good as it looks but then don't all Alembics???
Think I will wait until the mortgage is paid off in a couple of years then give Mica a ring

Hello Friends ,

Thank you all for the kind words !

Yes , this bass sounds as great as it looks !

A series 2 is honestly a real challenge due to this sophisticated electronics and the overall precision of the instrument that you must learn before you have the sound !!! So , you really have to study to play it well ! It's a very demanding instrument but once you get it , it's so greeeaaattttttt !

...but you all know that far better than me folks , you all are pretty good specialists in the alembic world !!!

Thank's again friends !

ALAIN

I'm not a fan of painted Alembics but this one is SLICK. It has a Neo-Retro look.
Very VERY cool.
COngrats Alain.
