After hitting my headstock on the ceiling fan light while taking my SC out of the case, I came up with the idea to cover it with a Crown Royal bag until I strap it on. I think I will leave it covered until I get the bass safely on stage too. I'm always leary carrying it through clubs with tables, chairs, & poles to bump into. Most of the time the stage is too small & cluttered to sit the case on stage to take the bass out so I wind up carrying it across the room. The Crown bag fits perfect & is thick enough to protect it from dings & scratches until it is safely on stage.

I will be glad to supply the bags: if all club members will send me $30 for the cost of procuring them, I will return the bag to you as soon as the contents have been dispensed. I'm here to serve...
That's what I love about being a part of the Alembic family, the members are so thoughtful & always willing to help out! Luckily my neighbor is a connoisseur of the product & had about 20 extra bags for me to choose from! Mine was free!
Great idea. Crown Royal bag for crown headstocks, but what about those of us with knobby or cone heads?
Bill, tgo
Cone Heads ! MEPS___MEPS! __ Must consume mass quantities !
Bill, Crown offers several sizes & colors, I'm sure you can find one to fit your needs. :-)
Wolf, I think that's what Mike was offering to do! HAHAHAHA!!
Way back when, we always kept the snake fan in a CR bag. They're great! Never thought of using one for a headstock, but it's perfect.
Bill, you should start a campaign to get Knob Creek to bag their bottles.

Very useful and good thinking. I've never hit a headstock on one of those contraptions but I have run my right wrist into one while putting on a long sleeve T shirt. Rassa frassa friggel frucca. Dang! Ouch. (Or some such words)
Good one Wolf. I'll never forget the vacuuming scene.
I'll have to wear a Crown Royal bag while dressing in the AM.
Peter, we still use a CR bag on our snake! It works great on that too!
Sounds like a great new product for the Alembic store,with the Alembic logo of course.
What about it Mica ?

After I got my SC I took this picture of it & went looking for a nice frame to match.

I couldn't find anything I liked, so I called Mary & suggested that they take the scrap wood from the build & make picture frames so we can have a frame made out of the same wood as our bass. Not sure they will ever run with that idea, but I would buy a Coco Bolo frame if they offered it!
