I visited California in December on a vacation with my wife to visit my brother in Hanford. We visited Yosemite, and Big Sur, Napa and wine country. Was too cold to rent the harley for the wine country though. While we headed up to wine country Is topped over in Santa Rosa. I tried to call ahead to get a tour of the factory but was unsuccessful. I just knocked on the door and to my surprise was welcomed into the Alembic factory. Needless to say everyone was so gracious and kind to show me the whole operation and the atrisans at work. Having owned a series I in the 90's and regretting selling it ever since, this was nirvana and the pictures I got are amazing. Also got to play alot of basses. I am now saving all my gig money to purchase a custom series II and sell all my other axes. Alembic is a famiy run first class operation and I thank them for there hospitality while i was there. This was a bucket list for me and will visit again.
