I have been playing it a lot since preparing for that last gig. I still haven't got used to making quick tone changes on it like I do on my SC bass but I know that it took me a lot of frustrating months to consistently find the tone I want at any particular time, so I'm enjoying the ride. I've also got comfortable with the colour now :-)

Great bass,
tres jolie basse,
F?li?itation

I'm one of those who prefer to see the woods, but gold on black is a perfect match. This Bass is extremely beautifull, congrats!

Mario, I also prefer to see the woods on alembics. However but this bass was just what I wanted except the colour and was about a year old and in brand new condition so I couldn't let it go just for one thing. :-)

Jazzyvee!!!!! This exactly where my inspiration came from!!!! Thanks Bro!!! cant wait for mine to arrive!!!

Here are a couple of very mug shots of me in my role as a bass guitar stand for my Europa/Elan. :-)  A funk band who had some big hits in the 1980's called The JALN band have decided to get back together and asked me to play bass for them.  We had some studio photo's taken a couple of weeks ago and here  are some that show off the bass best.

Beautiful bass.I think it would be cool to have its reverse,White w/gold hardware.It would have to be a very white  white,not cream or blue.What a pair that would make =)

Yeah I can see that especially if the pickup covers and knobs and switches were also the same very white or gold. It would look very ...... posh indeed.

I wonder if Alembic have ever got standard knobs and switches in white or any other colour for that matter.?

Killer look with that KILLER bass!

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!

Man, that is a nice bass! I always favored black or white basses when I was younger (all my basses were). Although my tastes have expanded, I still have a soft spot.Lucky man you are Jazzy......

Thanks wish bass, it is a great bass to play and sounds amazing. I guess thats kind of expected. I'm using it more at the moment since joining 70's 80's funk band called JALN Band. Check them out on you tube, there are some fun 70's clips of the band on there from their appearances on Top of The Pops.  They had quite a few disco/pop hits in the late 70's and have reformed.
