Absolutely stunning! I love the quilted maple, the blue, ruthenium hardware... everything is perfect. Congrats and may you always play it in good health!

None more blue!

I said it before and I'll say it again - the first version was great, but when the correct color got dialed in - holy cow.

Just goes to show you - trust the artists, they always know best!

You have every right to be proud.

All right! Congrats! :-)
And I'm honored to be mentioned in the featured custom section, thanx! :-)

David, they repainted it 3 times to get the color right! When you look up perfection in the dictionary, it shows a picture of the Alembic logo!

Flip, I'm so thankful you got the Jan-Al case & that I saw it on your build thread! It is so much better than the Calzone I have for my SCSD! Glad you are now immortalized in Alembic history!

Astounding bass Rusty, absolutely astounding and after reading the workmanship description, well does any other company pay so much attention to detail?, no they do not..forget the rest Alembic are the best.
Are you wearing a complete fur onesie(one piece suit) so you do not damage the finish when you gig it LOL!

yes amazing bass! Congratulations!! I love the Walnut Core idea; My only question is: Where can I get a Wife like that???
My biggest fear in life is that when I die my wife will sell my basses for what I told her I paid for them!!!!

Beautiful Bass, Rusty! Congrats, again! (I live in ATL, and am considering various ways to see this bass in person!!!)

You are right Terry, nothing & no one compares to Alembic & the wonderful people who create them!

Edwardo, the Walnut core was Susan's suggestion. When I told her I wanted a bass with great attack & clarity, she suggested the Walnut core, & she nailed it! The Blue Orca has tons of both!

Alembic can absolutely build you the bass of your dreams, but my wife is one of a kind! I thank God every day for her!
