Deposit was put into my account last night, so done deal is called on the transfer of custodianship of this wonderful classic bass from myself to Major Tom - Wow, how fitting! She was a bit dirty after sitting in her case for almost two years, so I polished/waxed it up yesterday, and it is still a truly beautiful, fine specimen of an Alembic S II. It is time for it to move on to someone who can play it regularly and appreciate it more than just as eye candy. No picture of this bass has ever captured its beauty of such beautiful reds in its wavy flamed walnut lams and deeply darkened maple from its thirty years of playing in smoky bars and stages all over the country. I will miss this bass immensely, but I do feel good about it going to a good home. Gig the crap out of this bass, Tom, and I know she will not let ya down. Packing will start up at the end of this week. So long to yet another great love of my life.
