Happy birthday Enzo!!!
I really didn't mean to start your Alembic addiction...  I hope you don't hate me for that. I just wanted you to have a great bass you would enjoy playing.  Enjoy.  - Alan

looking good Sam.  
I see someone has gone for DR neons on their fender. I've just replaced mine with black beauties - I found the neon coating didn't last long at all.

That particular Fender has quite a history behind it.  It started life as a 62 PBass.  It's been owned by my friend David Lee pictured above for decades.  When we were roommates in the early 80s it had a natural finish and a PBass pickup. That bass has been refinished several times, most recently as it is in this photo with house paint. It's also gone through several electronics & neck modifications.  It's been unfretted and refretted a time or two as well.  That bad boy still sounds great!
