Check, I get lots of questions about how heavy my bass is :-)

Heavy in tone or weight :-)

Must be tone, at 3955 gram, (8.7 lbs) it's my lightest (in weight) Alembic :-)

I just joined my Dad's band (no april fools here) :-)
I recorded along one of their tracks with my fretless for practice: mp3 direct download

Nice playing, Flip! What's your dad playing? (I love playing with my son!)

Flip , Nice work. You made the fretless work in this context. It is nice to hear fretless in rock when it really adds to the common good of the piece of music like you made it work. Are you using a pick ? if you are that is also innovative for fretless playing.

Way to go, Flip!!! BTW!! My Europa is a MONSTER!!!

Thanx!
I just uploaded a slightly improved version (same link)
My Dad plays acoustic guitar, accordeon, Blues Harmonica and he does lead/backing vocals (no lead vocals on this track)
I play fingerstyle on this track, but also use a pick when I play Until it sleeps with my Metallica tribute band.

Pat: We need to see (lots of) pictures in the showcase area asap, congrats!

This one also has the script added (see here,post Number: 1422
)
This one was a bit trickier... the logo was too low and too far to the right, so I had to fill some holes.
I placed the logo so that the majority of it covers the holes, filled the holes with Maple (Spalted, I got a piece from a friend some years ago) dust and some super glue. Undetectable to the trained (my) eye :-)

Some day she will also have a collet volume knob, Mica?

Thanx!

Jazzy: I also do reggae with this bass in my new band :-)

Maybe we should collaborate on some reggae versions of metallica songs. That would be a challenge i think. :-)

I think metallica are playing Glastonbury this year.
