this was quite a coincidence.was going on hols about a month ago down what we in the uk call the west country.(the county of cornwall to be precise)anyway,we'd got in the near vicinity of the cottage we were to stay at when i pulled over to have a last look at the map(no sat navs here!)it was a sort of drive way to a house but was a very rural area with not much about so to speak.so ,after a quick swan at the map i was about to pull away when i just happened to glance over to the left where there was a wall at the end of the driveway and to my amazement saw that the name of the house was...alembic!ive never ever seen that house name over here,maybe its different in the states,i dont know.needless to say i took it as a sign from above! lol,best regards to all,jeff

Alembic House.  Cool!

Maybe it was where the person who commissioned this mythical bass lives?

Couldn't it be Graemes home in England, before he moved to Scotland ?

I've only ever been to cornwall on holiday Christian. It's a beautiful part of the world but there aren't enough mountains for me :-)
