Dream machine!  Congrats!

Wow! I love this bass!

Beautiful bass! Enjoy it!

I'm sure this bass will sound as beautiful as it looks! And, I have the good fortune to live close to Vance, so I'll be able to hear it in person, and get a first hand listen... speaking of hands, I'm a lefty, so I won't have the pleasure of getting to play it! grrrr....

Wow!

Vance, your bass guitar is absolutely gorgegous!!!
Congratulations...

WOW indeed.

Vance:
 
Congrats!  This has certainly been a great week in Alembicland with both our instruments (similarly light on front, dark on back) being finished.  You've got one stunning bass there.  I love the satin finish.  So what's the story on the lower-drain chips?
 
Bill, tgo

NICE!!

Here's the new proud Alembic owner playing his bass fresh out of the shipping box!`  

 

  Vance is presently unable to access the internet from home but he asked me to convey to Mica and all the staff at Alembic his heartfelt thanks for the help and support building his dream bass!  When he's not playing it, he can't help but stare at it!  It's unbelievably beautiful and that Alembic sound makes it so compelling to play.  We have a growing number of Alembic players in Honolulu and we're going to get together for a group photo to be posted on the club website.  I also think there's a couple of our fellow bassists that are now considering Alembics of their own after seeing and hearing Vance's bass.  What a beautiful bass!  (Message edited by davehouck on June 28, 2007)

Hey Vance,
 
Sorry about the silly message last time but I just want to know how your bass is? You must be playing alot as we haven't heard from you.  
 
Let us know when you get a chance. Oh ya, I forgot you might not have a computer now but if so let us know.
 
Aloha, Paul
