Deep breaths Jon... it's gonna be a fun morning tomorrow!

Jon,  If you think tonight is going to be sleepless wait until tomorrow night and you have the new beauty in your hands!  Regards, Art

I know your right...I already told my wife to make room in the bed....

So get this....I just checked the DHL tracking # and it shows the bass to be on hold in Ohio at one of there facilities..They cant give me info as to why it missed this mornings conecting flight weather it just missed it or got damaged?
Wont be able to deliver till tomorrow the earliest...
I am flipping out..

Delivery companies (  
Sorry to hear of the delay.

I SPOKE TO DHL AND THEY SAY THEY LOCATED THE BOX AND IT WILL BE DELIVERED TOMORROW MORNING...
 
Everybody keep your fingers crossed for me that it arrives and in one piece....

Hope that you're sleeping OK... Is today the day?

Thanks buddy..
Yep today is the day..
 
I just got a call from a DHL rep telling me it is on the truck and I am supposed to be one of the first deliveries....Don't know how long I can hold my breath....

Great... Do report back once you get your hands on that beauty if you can restrain yourself to put it down.  Enjoy Jon!

IT HAS ARRIVED....
What an incredible instrument in every way....
She plays like a dream and is really like brand new..There isn't a mark anywhere...Looks like it was shipped directly from the factory...
It had the original strings still on her and the guy I got it from didnt play it more than 2 hours total and it's 16 month life......
It is my first Alembic so I need to spend some time with the filters they are a trip and completely different than anything I have ever owned..

Congratulations on the new bass; now try to remember to eat and sleep, OK?

If I eat 25 burgers for lunch will I be good for a month of non stop playing..:-)

25 burgers will take care of the food input.... output might be an issue =)
 
Congratulations on the bass- it took me awhile to get used to the filters too- my recommendation is to turn the Q's on when you're learning.  Having them on made it easier for me to hear the slight changes that resulted from tiny turns of the filter.  I rarely play w/ my Q's on now, but I usually use them to help me find the tone range I'm looking for.
 
Have fun!

Congrats Jon.  Glad to hear it has arrived safely!  Have Fun

Thanks guys I am having a blast and cant wait to get into the studio to lay down some tracks..
I put a new set of DR high beams on 45-125 and basically finished the setup..Only thing I wish she had was independent adjustable bridge saddles to fine tune string to string heights....
Has Alembic even done this or will they??
