Thanks Mica, I can't play upright at all but I do remember seeing that 5 string Classico in the lobby last time I visited, it was stunning and deserves a little publicity. I seem to remember the bass player for Julio Iglesias having one built a few years ago. Hopefully the final pictures of the coco bolo one now in production will be in the Showcase soon.

I have a 6-String Classico.  Quilted Maple & Ebony Fingerboard.  MAN!  That-a-chunk-o-ebony!
 
Will post a Pic soon along with the 2 Spyders.

Welcome Gary! Pictures of all your Alembics would be great, we love bass porn around here.  
I see by your profile that you have a weakness for 6 string Alembics & an 8 string Spyder.  
Welcome again and I look forward to seeing you collection.

It looks like this has a shot of Gary's Classico, but it is somewhat obscured.

byoung!  How did you find such an obscure photo?  Amazing!  I forgot that I brought it to that photo shoot.  That Classico has quite a history....too long to post here....but, I am the original owner.

I followed your profile to your current band, then found the rook website.

TV sighting!!
This week (well, the last two days) Wheel Of Fortune has been on location in Nashville. They have been going to the first commercial break with a country quintet playing, with the bass player playing a maple topped Classico.
