Myrtle is a beautiful wood....
 
Dear 57basstra,
 
I want your '78.
 
Sincerely,
Dan

Hey, Dan. Thanks. I notice your post here is #57. How appropriate.
 
I doubt I will ever sell this one.  
 
(I know I kinda jumped in here on the featured custom thread with my guitar; however, it is not often that Myrtle is so prominently featured.)

What a great takeoff from the Stanleys and Brown Basses and others.  I have too many basses to justify another Alembic for a long, long time, and I'd probably want something different (in shape) from my Brown Bass, but this one would be a great cousin to my bass.  Different looks and personality, but definitely part of the same family.  Very nice.  Whoever the mystery owner is must be very pleased indeed.
