Alain's Maple Custom

[David Houck]

Great bass!!  My guess is that the extra switch may be a mono/stereo switch for the 1/4 jack.

Hi Dave ,  
 
Is this switch common on series 2 ? For me it's ok , i'm glad to have it , but i thought it was there only if you ask it !?
 
Anyway , this won't change a thing to what i think : alembic's are sincerely and more than probably the most beautiful and sounding instruments ( basses ) i've heard...in one word the best ! Iknow there are plenty other brands that are also very good , so let's just say it's a matter of taste...even if i think they 're the best anyway !!! yeah !!!

Alain; I'm thinking that you are right, that it's an option and not standard.

Never been a big fan of sunburst finishes over  beautiful wood but MY GOD! Alembic certainly has a way of changing a persons mind with such artistry and style!!!

Hi Mickael ,  
 
Thank's ...i was wondering how it would look , but the result is there : gorgeous !  
 
 
Hi Dave ,  
 
Well , i don't remember i 've asked for that , but i'm happy to have it...will i hear a strong difference in my sound if i don't use sound effects ?

Hi Mica ,  
 
Just for information , i think an entire page of this thread with several pics of my bass with the wineburst colour has disapeared ...? Or my computer goes wrong ...anyway , if it's normal , could it be possible for you to send them back to me on my personal mail address ?
 
Thank's a lot .

Alain,
 
Look at the top of the page: a moderator must have archived the messages you're referring to. There are currently two archives for this thread, and the second one probably holds the pictures you're looking for.

[dubalbal]

Hi Adriaan ,  
 
You're correct , i've been so many times on it ...i don't see 'em anymore...probably due to the  arrival of my bass next week !!!!!!
 
 
Thanks

Rather than by a moderator, it was probably automatically archived by the software.

Alain, Congrats!!!!!!
 
When I visited the factory last month, your bass was on the bench in rub-out...... Seeing the pics of it complete w/ electronics, hardware, strings, etc etc.. is a sight to behold!!!!! I am extremely happy for you & hope that this beauty brings you a lifetime of enjoyment...
