Attached is a picture of my 97 Series II V and the rest of my bass collection. The Alembic takes center position of course.

Beautiful S2! how old is your NS-2? I own an '88 and '89 myself and would never dream of parting with them.

I would love to see closer pics of the 97 also.  And yes the NS is mighty sexy as well.

Beautiful addition!
 
How are you finding the signature electronics since you have plenty of experience with the Series stuff?

The bass came yesterday and I'm playing it this afternoon at church through my rig. Details to follow, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Thanks for your comments.

Played the new SC at mass yesterday and it felt and sounded great. Really easy to play. 4 1/2 lbs. lighter than my Series II too.

My Alembic collection has grown. From the left is my  Series II V, Stanley Clarke Deluxe V, Mark King, Stanley Clarke Deluxe, Mark King V. These are the original master built instruments. Those words are often used by other companies as sales buzz words. Alembic owners are getting the real deal. I will have more soon.

Five months later and I have converted. Alembics rock my world in so many ways. I still have the Sadowsky, Spector, Yamaha and Knilling acoustic from the first picture. The others are history.
