Congrats on the new bass.

I didn't even notice it's a fretless, WAY COOL.
Have you played fretless much Flip?

OO

I've had a Fretless Gibson The Ripper for a while and loved it, did some gigs with it but had to sell to get some cash for the Wall of deaf

Btw: this bass can also be seen in the Alembic movie on the Futures channel. (I think it's in the beginning, can't open it right now)

@ Keith: Spalted Maple fretless basses are tha bomb!
I love your Orion, lost some keyboards watching yours :-)

Flip - have you lost your mind, or just a fistful of dollars? I thought you were saving up for a custom. Ah well, this one sure is an eyecatcher - enjoy it!

I love the sleek shape and the top

Jazzy, your link does'nt work: file not found !

The custom quote is on Mica's desk ;-)

I've been planning for a fretless and a 5 string, I did consider 2 customs for a while (when the Dollar was ultra low) but that's just too much right now.
This one is a little over the budget, but hey... She's awesome!

I will open a topic in the showcase tonight. (tonight in Holland that will be)

If Mica reads this: The Link on the Alembic main site is also broken ;-)

Flip,

What's the plans for the custom?! inquiring minds want to know...

FC Bass · « **Reply #27 on:** March 05, 2009, 09:59:24 AM »

Newsted Elan 5 with either the JPJ + custom electronics or Anniversary, prepped for series (incl dummy hc) and the big must have: Ebony lams :-)

olieoliver · « **Reply #28 on:** March 05, 2009, 10:05:35 AM »

MAn Flip, what'd you do knock off a few 7-11's. LOL

I can vouch for the Ebony lams, they're smokin'.

OO

Almost right, you have the number 7 there :-)

I've saved up for the Custom for seven years now, that seems like a nice symbolic number of years to me so I decided I've waited long enough.
