The latest COTM; a very deserving instrument!  I really like the grain on this one!  And I would like to add that Mica has once again produced a really nice feature!  Congrats Pierre!

Stunning Brown Bass Pierre!  
Congratulations on your bass and the latest addition to the COTM.
Play it Healthy!

Congratulations on being the COTM for July. I really like the inlays. I also own a Brown Bass and have been very happy with it.    
 
Keith

Indeed another beautiful instrument!
Congratulations Pierre
 
Go Team Alembic!
 
Mike

I love the July COTM.  Only Alembic has the touch to produce such a lovely instrument.  
 
What tone does Birch contribute?
 
How does an oil finish hold up?

For me the oil finish has held up fine. Alembic uses a polymerized oil so it doesn't require periodic oiling. All I do is give it an occasional waxing. There is a finish care section in the FAQ that discusses it.

Awesome Pierre! It looks really magical!

Lovely bass, very retro.
I noticed that it has two extra mini toggle switches, I know two will be Q's, one will be for LED's..what the last one for near the output..anyone know as it wasn't listed in the specs?

I'm guessing it'll be a stereo/mono switch same as the anniversary.
 
Graeme

Graeme is correct the switch is for stereo/mono operation. The Brown Bass comes standard with Anniversary electronics.
