Here is my Excel

[beatlejuice]

David,
 
I just recently got my first Alembic (a Spoiler) which has a very simple setup...vol,tone,pu select, Q switch. I find it absolutely amazing how versitile it is. There are also adjustments you can make inside the control cavity (haven't done that yet).I, too, like simple controls. I had a BC Rich Eagle that had knobs and switches all over it. It drove me nuts. I was used to a G&L SB-2 (2 knobs...vol,vol).The Eagle was really a nice bass....just not for me. We soon parted company.
 
and Rami,
Great looking family you have there. I am envious.

Elzie, I have been recording on computer for years, and it is a habit. if you would like checkout some of the stuff I have done, go to www.avd.org/songs.html   all the songs were recorded on computer, and with my Alembic basses and an Alembic electric guitar

Wow.  I was just dreaming about a custom Excel.  This thread is inspirational.  What a load of cool looking woods and options.  I think the wide upper horns are very sharp and unique.  Well, back to plotting the custom Excel 5 string I was thinking about...

Hey, thanks for the nice comments.  I got most of them at clearance prices from my dealer.  In fact, the only ones I paid full price for are the 2 five string Vermillions, and the Quilted Maple 5.  That's how the collection got so big.  I fell in love with the Excel for it's simplicity, the way it plays and it's HUGE tone.
I still think it's one of the greatest Basses ever made - a true classic.  I'd highly recommend it, even if it were to be your only Bass.

Here's a beauty I picked up a couple of months ago.  The funny thing is that while I couldn't take a decent picture of it, I stumbled upon an Alembic factory picture!
 
Excel 4 Vermillion - with added MXY pickup and PAN control.

The Excel has it all for me.  It's the greatest Bass ever.

Hey Rami,
 so you got yourself again a twin??
Oh well ...let's call it nephews: the one is a 4 the first a 5 if my eyes are not playing tricks on me.
The funny thing is that -with my respect for your vast collection containing some REALLY expensive dreambasses- since I know you, you laways have expressed your preference for the more cheap (huhuhu ...let's call that less expensive) basses.

That's very true Paul.  I'm especially fond of the Excel.  In fact, this is my main Bass of all time. I practically sleep with this one.
