This one was the prototype for shape #6, the version we've finally settled on. We didn't test it with an expensive piece of Coco Bolo. Instead, we made the shape out of a solid piece of Mahogany. We loved it so much we had to finish it and what a finish! Blue steel color shifts from blue to purple, and the contoured top really shows it off.

Wow, Mica -that's one sexy looking shape!! No wonder your Mom is so proud of this style of guitar. I wonder what an enlarged version would be like for a bass? Pretty comfortable, I'd wager.

I think that would be a real cool shape for a bass.

Hi Craig,

Welcome to the club & congrats on your score!
I agree about this shape for the bass. If I was buying another Alembic today, and this was on the rack, it would be comming home with me.

Thanks to everyone. I have previously owned 2 Series 1 Basses, but have been drooling over this guitar for about a year or so. I play in a reggae band here in Southern Cal. so Friday night it's going to the gig with me........

I received the guitar yesterday. I named her Stella Blue, she is so sweet it gave me a cavity. What can I say, an awesome guitar......My friend said the paint looked like it was from the space shuttle, hmm, Stellar Blue??

Congratulations with that fabulous Tribute, please don't hesitate to add some more pictures! It's a great piece of history, and the solid mahogany body should give you a great foundation for some major tone tweaking. Although I'm fully converted, addicted and dedicated to the bass now, I just love this guitar!

I'll post some more pics when the sun comes out.

crobbins Cragrats! I've played that guitar before and without a doubt, you have got yourself THE tone of all that is good in guitars! I have tried to get that sound out of my other guitars, but only yours dominates!
