Here is, not only my FIRST Alembic, but my first 5-string as well (after playing for only 30 years)

Sweeeeeeeet!

Welcome Wayne, and congratulations on your new bass!  The pinstripe neck lams are tres elegante! If I don't say it, Paul, the bad one, or somebody else undoubtedly will, so here goes:  MORE PICTURES.  We want to see the front, the back, the headstock, the back of the headstock, everything.  The more pics, the better is the usual creed around here.  Play it in good health and make lots of excellent music.
 
Bill, the guitar one

more new pics.  Like to get your opinion.

even more new pics

I love the look of the neck.  The contrast with the two stripes of wood near the center is very attractive.  They almost look like a different type of wood from the rear.  Racing stripes.

I've only played out with this bass twice...and it gets alot of attention.  My band mates even notice the difference.  I've also had many bass rigs (Ampeg, Genz Benz, Fender, SWR) but the one I like best is the new Yorkville 200 Combo.  Even my wife (singer in my band) loves the new bass and it's sound through the Yorkville.  Enough about me and my new bass...sort of like showing off one of my kids, huh?!  Take care all

Here's a pic of me with my new bass on our gig last night

Now THIS is a happy bass player! I don't see if anyone has asked which electronics package you have. It looks like it might be standard Epic/Orion (vol/blend/bass c&b/ treble c&b). Have a wonderful time!
 
Mike

You're absolutely right, Mike....it is standard Epic electronics.  And I haven't stopped smiling since I got this bass!!
