I put the bass down, I blow off the dust, I pick up my camera, I blow off the dust again, I take the picture - Welcome to the mountains of northern California - Kind of northern, anyway - argueable . . .
Anyway, much darker cocobolo on the headstock. I love dark woods best for looking at. Maple is wonderful for nice highs, so I always try to have at least one maple bass around. I do look at my basses alot. I have about eight of them on stands maybe three feet away from my work desk and look over at them when stressing out with clients. I talk to them, too, but that charge will not stand up in court, so forget it. I do not know if the logo is brass or bronze. Probably bronze, as it shines and I have never polished it. I have had many people tell me this is the most beautiful bass they have ever seen. It is beautiful, and it is about the only perfectly made any brand bass I have ever seen. It's tail piece is even perfectly centered - No, I'm not kidding, it really is - Come see for yourself! Geeze, statistically one had to be centered perfectly after all these years, and I won the Alembic lottery and got it - Lucky!
