Hello all,

It has been many years since I posted something here at the forum, guess the last was "Alembic on the top of the world", when an Alembic became the worlds most northernmost bass guitar being played on a ship not too far from the North Pole.
 
Now I thought you may want to see how an Alembic bass is being played inside a submersible. As it happens, I am Captain on a small expedition cruise ship and also a submersible pilot. Maybe this is the first time anyone ever played a bass guitar underwater. The submersible can go 1000ft deep although I didn't go that far for these shots!


Ok, some may now say that the Japanese license-made Alembic is not a "real" Alembic, but this is my "travel-bass" which I take with me to sea. Besides it does have Alembic pick-ups and the A-logo on its head and plays well enough to entertain my guests here


All the bass

Very cool, Jan! 

THAT is so cool !!! I guess in this case saying his tone sounded like it was "under water" is acceptable.

How fun!  We're you playing a certain Beatles tune?,😉

Good to hear from you Jan.  Interesting craft; makes for some pretty wild pictures of you just sitting there playing bass.

+1 on the cool factor.

Looks like you're bringing a whole new meaning to the term "couch surfing"!

Awesome!

I guess you have discovered the real definition of sub-bass. 🤫🤪🤩😁🤣😂🎸

Resurface seems to be the operative word for you today - http://club.alembicguitars.net/index.php?topic=9209.msg244429;topicseen#msg244429


Steady as she goes!

Jan this is just perfect!!!

So glad to finally hear from someone with an AJ! Please tell us more about it sometime. I don't think we even have a Showcase Thread for these, but I've always liked the design.

Very cool, though I believe brother Michael in New Orleans, (Dela217), may have claim to the first underwater Alembic!

hehehehe

Bill, tgo

I saw Michael's bass in the workshop back in 2012. Wonder what's happening to it these days.

Simply the coolest Alembic pic ever!

As has already been said - COOL is THE word to describe everything about this!
