Al,
Congratulations. From your description the bass sounds spectacular.  
 
Keith

Alan,
I am very happy that you received your baby finally.
Thanks for the kind words, I am proud that I could help you and Alembic out with some specs and details on Johns original basses.
But, I ask something from you:
when you ever decide to sell the bass, plse ask me first!!!
And... pictures pleaaaaasssssseeeeee
Take care my friend

Anyone know how to resize photos using a Mac?  I still can't figure it out (other than cropping, which I don't want to do).
 
Alan

Check, I'll resize 'em for you.

Guys/Gals,  As promised, here are some pics.  Many thanks to Flip for resizing them for me.  Al  

 

 

 

One problem with this bass...

Uh oh ... ;-)
 
Alan

The only problem I have with this bass is...  
 
1. It isn't mine, and  
2. I wish I can play it.

Whew ... for a minute there I thought I was in trouble! ;-)
 
Al

Is the picture deceptive or is that a 7-pin jack?  And if so, please expound on the subject.
 
Peter

I count 5 from Mica's picture. But, your right -- it does look like 7 pins. Probably all that shine and refection from the flash or the light.
 
But hey, if I am wrong -- I would like to know too.

Five pins, guys.
 
Al

Alan:
 
Congrats!  She is, indeed, a beauty!  If ever an Alembic were to sport seven pins, this would be the one!  May you both make beautiful music together for many many years to come.
 
Bill, tgo

That is one smokin' hot axe!
Rock it Alan!

What!  
 
not 7 or 8 pins, instead of a measly 5.  
You mean to tell me it's got only five pins?  
What is this world coming too?
