I think a lot of folks around here are going to really like this bass. First, most of us appreciate the early instruments; we connect with the classic shapes as symbols of Alembic and for the roles they played in the evolution of our music. Second, many of us have an appreciation for the particular inspiration for this bass. The combination of woods, the body shape; not only is it a really nice tribute, but its goal is a certain magical tone.
I particularly like the story of how Vincent came to place the order.
Go take a look
