This is my first Alembic. I have been playing it every free moment since it arrived last week, but I managed to stop long enough to clean it up a bit and post some pics.   It is the best all around sounding bass I have played (4001, Status S2, Jaydee MK), although the others, have thier awesome unique sounds too.  I particullarly enjoy playing the Jaydee, upon which I have a very light gauge string.   The medium scale suits me and I will soon change to a slightly lighter gauge string. The tones are amazing.  The bass is a dream to play.  I now know first hand there is no better way to sound great than playing an Alembic. I am using a Markbass 121P.  I now wonder what other Alembic electronics and neck configurations sound like. How would an Essence, Epic, Rogue or Series bass compare? How about Charlie's Distillate with Series electronics? Fantastic I am sure.   Anyway, I hope you enjoy these pics.   Colin

Sweet! Nice clean machine, I noticed you have a fixed nut. Is that standard on 81's?
 
You weren't really balancing that on the railing of your deck were you?
