An 'artist impression' (I love b/w photographs) of the reunion. Beautiful curves all around!

Hi what a threesome !. Is that a Sei bass in the centre.What does it look like in colour ?.I know this is an Alembic site but I was looking at some examples of Martin Petersons work last week when I bought my Alembic from The Gallery.

Thanks Kevin, in fact it's a Benavente, specifically the same instrument that was tested in the March 2003 Bass Player magazine. I've introduced this non-Alembic in the Misc. section a few months ago, and polluted the thread with lots of pictures: http://club.alembicguitars.net/Images/449/16789.html?1110808442
 
The top is Cookies & Cream Buckeye Burl (seriously, I didn't make that just up) and it's a great instrument altogether.

Wow that really is something - I know that guitars are meant to be played but what really gets me is when they're works of art as well.That's why I like the Alembic basses so much.The same goes for my Warwick thumb which seems to me to be very organic in the way it is sculpted.I also have a Status Kingbass on the way which is modern technology fused with beautiful woods.The Sei bass I refered to is called a single cut.There's one on the Gallery website.

 
I realised that I completely forgot to post the colour version, because I just love the atmosphere of black and white photography...

Is that a satin finish on the Orion ?.It has a beautiful deep lustre to it.
 
 
 
 
I think mine needs a bit of extra polishing.

Yes, it's a satin finish. IMHO it's one of the things that make the Orion a very 'earthy' and 'natural' instrument. The EVH is the 'glossy' one in this picture. BTW I love the slight flaming on your Orion, very pretty bass!
