This is the Classico we have in our showroom right now. It's a yummy Quilted Maple top with Pau Ferro fittings:

  The bridge looks pretty cool too:

The first Classico Showroom picture and it's a 5 string too!  That is beautiful, now if I only could play upright... Thanks Mica.

You are observing a picture of my almost-12-year-old's favorite reason to visit Alembic ... the Space Invaders arcade game in the background!  This Classico does look amazing in the flesh (in the wood?)
 
Bill, tgo

That makes me want to learn to play upright bass.  Very nice, and thank you Mica!
The only thing that stays the same is change.

Mica, do you know if Stanley has a classico, or does he stick to the acoustic double bass?
 
Has he played one?, what does he think?

The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

The Classico is modelled off of Stanley's personal upright bass. He hasn't however purchased one.

wouldnt mind some fret dots..... bill
gonna try fretex and see if they have been able to come up with something. i asked about a year ago when i got the ns c5rm and they had tooling issues
-----------------------------------------------------
got some feedback from the seller and this was confirmed by mica
the bass was sent back to alembic and ron tweaked it. according to mica it may just be the best sounding classico they ever made and has been the benchmark soundwise for all future classico's
as soon as i said- i have gino's bass- she starting telling me this
