Rami,
 
Those basses are gorgeous.  How the heck can you decide which one to play.  I especially like the dark twins.  Beautiful.
 
Peace,
 
James

Thanks James,
 
The one in the middle was my first Rogue - Bird's Eye Maple top.  The dark twins are custom orders - Macassar Ebony - 36 scale - too many details to list, but they may be featured customs soon!  I just love them.

This was my first Rogue - Truly love at first sight.  Bird's Eye Maple with Flame?!!!

This is another really cool factory picture of the Dark Prince.  It shows the Purpleheart body and the Ebony & Purpleheart accent laminates.  I wish it had been part of the feature!

Damn!
 
Rami, you certainly have some nice Alembics. And taste  
 
You must have stock in the company by now, eh?

Hi Rami,
 
i saw them already as the Custom of teh Month: they are beautiful and the story behainf the twin is great. I also learned that the dark prince is maple-less??.
The fact that they are 36 also ads to their majesty.
Congratulations!
 
Paul
 
PS: we even have a picture of you too! Litterally: the man behind the guitars!

Thanks guys,
 
It was a really great experience for me to help in the design of such Majestic basses. They really are stunning - my jaw still drops everytime I open their cases!  
 
Best wishes,
 
Rami

Hey Rami,
 
just got your mail.
Are you up very early? It's 13:00hrs over here!
I just took a peep at your profile and I really like your sense of humor as well as your taste of basses: age...no!

A little suggestion to anyone considering a custom Alembic...you really should have your name inlaid somewhere on it.  You just can't imagine the feeling that comes over me each time I hold one of the twins and see my name.  It's very moving...an Alembic Masterpiece, personalized.  That'll really make them family heirlooms!  

[Michael Paskel (Mikey) (pookeymp)]

I certainly won't forget that the next time.  The first question I'm asked whenever showing off my Alembic and saying I had it custom built is: Where is your name engraved at?  
 
Once I get my next one...I may part with my Mark King for a little bit to have her personalized with my name also.
 
Definitely great advice for anyone in the future, Rami.  I called myself saving a couple of bucks and have regretted it ever since.

Whenever anyone sees the twins, I think just seeing my name inlaid on them adds to their mystique as Super-Exotic custom made Alembic masterpieces.  The first reaction they always get is a big, loud WOW!  There's never any doubt about what they are or who the owner is!  Probably one of the best feelings I've ever had.
