Hi guys,
I'm Olson living in Jakarta, Indonesia.
I got this bass 2 years ago when I was studying in Sydney, Australia. I contacted Alembic agent in Jakarta and wait for about 3 months to get this bass. They said that I was the 1st person who order Alembic bass through them.

This bass is being used for church ministries until now. it sounds great! and I believe that Alembic is one of the best instrument maker ever.

Hi Olson, welcome to the club! Nice bass and nice rig! I have a friend who uses those black coated strings. He says they stay bright much longer than regular strings. I also use a Rogue 5 as my main bass.

Thats the first Rogue with a Spalted maple top that I've seen. Looks great.
