I had this one made last year, and it's a fantastic bass; neck  with Fender Jazz width, Cocobolo front & back, deluxe purpleheart laminates, continuous  backplates and truss rod cover. Since it is  a bit on the heavy side,  I used that excuse to convince myself to buy one more  ( that wasn't really too hard) so  I ordered   another one , hollow & smaller,  which is coming in a couple of weeks or  so. Same neck , same  top, ash body,maple & vermillion accent laminates, knobby peghead, Rogue Electronics, Fat boy pickups, Dual Omega Cutaway Body based on a modified essence body by Mica. I am obviously waiting for my new baby with great anticipation; this will be Alembic #4; I also own a 90s custom Signature Deluxe 4 fretless in coco bolo and a 1981 XY bass ,  a single pickup Distillate Bass which I believe was made for the Japanese Market in a limited  quantity of 300 all in Zebrawood  ; originally it was a medium scale bass, but I had Alembic rebuild it with a long scale neck a few years ago. I will post pictures of my other Alembics as soon as I take same.

Obviously my attempt to post the picture was a bust. I'm not sure what I did wrong, I followed the instructions as listed here on the website and followed the software prompts. I can tell that my other attempts so far would have failed in exactly the same way , so I avoided reposting a lame link. Do the pictures have to be in a specific format? Mine is a jpeg, but I could convert it to something else if had to. In terms of size the picture is only 140k.  If anyone has any suggestions I'd be grateful.

I figured it out  

That's one beautiful instrument. Bet it's an eye-catcher and sounds great.

Thank you Jonathan...yes, people do double & triple takes when they see it..and it does sound like the end of the world, especially with the new Fat Boy AXYs I installed in it this weekend.

Hello, Val. Do you still have this one. It is superb!

Hi David,
