I'm with Dave - lots to like in that picture... coupla' buds jamming in the air conditioning on a sunny afternoon. And there's literally nothing to dislike about that Series I (?!) Distillate!

And a drummer named Ace? C'mon, that's pure poetry. Nice!

Great pictures!

I'm a little concerned that you may have captured your neighbor strangling an extraterrestrial, though.

I love this bass is it chambered?

How much does the lower pickup switch get in the way of slapping? Slapping doesn't form a major part of my paying but I do depending on the gig. It is one of the things that has made me resist going for older models with the pickup selector in that position. What is your experience?

LOL!! on the stangulation of the alien Zep!! Thanks for kudos Woodyb lue! I'm unsure if the bass is chambered or not Barnes, that might be a question for the Mothership. Jazzy, that pickup selector was a bit of a problem when I first got the Distillate because my pinky would hit the pointed end & man did taht hurt!! So I just flipped the knob so that the rounded edge is in the up position and that solved the issue!!!

Chalie,
The more I think about it the more I wish my Series electronics were in my Distillate!
Love that Bass, it seams to fit you perfectly.
Peace
Pete

Thank you sooo much for the compliments Dennis. Since Kenny Revamped my rig, it takes about 20 minutes to set it up and that's at a slow pace.

Hey Pete! I was really to snag my Distillate. It was listed at Bass Northwest. I knew that I wanted a shorty series bass & when I saw it.... Blamo!! Janis, my wife wanted to get me a special Christmas present so I showed her the Distillate and she got it for me!! Janis thinks that I'm nuts because each Christmas she'll ask me what I want and I tell her that the Alembic is it and I don't want anything else!...Well maybe some hair!

Looking good there, Charlie! Alembic satiation at its best! You look at one with the universe.

Hey Matt, I just love that Alemnibc sound!!The place where that photo was taken is called The Bull Run in Lewisburg Pa. I'm the house bassist and I bring 2 basses, one for the guest bassist and my Distillate for me! Lost of guys want to play it, but I'm really touchy about it. I used to feel guilty about being so guarded about that but not anymore. I'll post a photo of my guests bass, the modified Scheckter (sp), I had a lot of stuff done to it.
