This is my new Essence 5 with walnut top and retro fitted LED's by S.I.M's which the previous owner had done, I must say they did a top job, very happy with it and it plays and sounds like a dream, I think you'll agree the walnut top is very special.

The image appears to have the extension .JP2, which is not commonly supported. Try saving the original as a regular .JPG and upload that for your next post.

Right here goes again, Thanks adriaan, you were quite right, mind you they seem very big, no need for a magnifying glass with these babies! Serial No. is 98K11786.

Nice one! Could you edit your message, to insert line breaks before each of the images?

Nice essence Digby! And welcome to the club. I have relatives in Darlington and Northallerton so maybe we can get together next time I'm down your way. There are a few other members in your neck of the woods; off the top of my head, Terry Capewell is in stockton and Mark Stannage ('grateful') is in robin hood's bay and i'm sure there's someone else in the Osmotherley area.
If you're free on the 22nd November, consider a trip across to Manchester for Bass day. There'll be a few of us there - further details can be found in this thread.

Still getting to grips with the club and it s format, its all new to me , so excuse me if I make some mistakes along the way!

Welcome

What a beautiful bass. Is it a low B or hich C?

digbass · « **Reply #8 on:** October 29, 2009, 10:40:16 AM »

Thank you. Its a Low B. I've finally managed to get my hands on an Alembic, having played bass for 22 years and I've got a feeling it wont be my last. I'll have to sell some of my other basses first though or my wife will kill me!

Welcom Digby, and congratulations on a beautiful Essence. What a sweet top!
They do grow on you (I've got three Alembics)
