DUDE!!  I'm also an Alembic-playing man of the cloth!  United Methodist, specifically.
 
Rock on!

There are more Alembi-Christians here Steve. I know of 4 of us in the Dallas area alone.
I may play only at church (for the moment) but I can still be one wild and crazy guy. LOL

Steven:
 
I'm also UM, but the picture is a sham - it's from a production of Nunsense II.

LOL ... Everyone (including me) thought you were a preacher or priest and you're not? .... I'm sorry, I honestly don't mean to laugh at anyone ... but that's funny! Maybe you should have explained this in the beginning? :-)

YEOW-EEE,  
 
Dude...
 
I would hate for that wire to snap, or whatever the wire is fastened -- holding your bass...
 
But, I can see that you are a man of faith, so I guess it's cool.
 
Peace and Love,
 
Hal-

That photo was from Gruhn's in Nashville, where I bought the bass.  I suspect that's the setup they use for taking the photos for the website.  I would never hang any bass that way (well...the Kingston I owned when I was in high school).
 
I'm actually a man of shaky faith.  That photo was taken when I was in the pit orchestra for Nunsense II, when the orchestra members were dressed as priests & nuns.
