Hello Graeme,
Very nice quilt! I'm going to have to think long and hard about a fiver, and what top I'd like. Yours is certainly a beautiful example.

Excellent! Beautiful bass, that's why it's called an Epic.

Yeah, I was really lucky the bass centre in birmingham had this one in stock when I was looking for a five string. She's so attractive I can't walk past without picking 'her' up. I've been thinking long and hard about a fretless 5 to join the stable but approval has to come from mrs J ;-(

Cheers Guys, i find havng an Alembic sitting around the house very inspiring - quite often means I'm 10 or 15 minutes late leaving the house in the mornings ;-)
 
george, we really need to sort out an Alembic playing day - I can't wait to try out your series.

But it's a 4 string, with light gauge strings!
That wouldn't suit you----or would it??
Just for a trial at least.
