Hi Club Members,
I've registered at last, after receiving my third Alembic. The first was (and still is) a brown bass (Grand Master with the Maltese cross inlays), then its twin sister, the fretless templar secrets and finally a wonderful Alexandria themed 5-string series 2...
I play bass as a hobby, and certainly much worst than the vast majority of you, but I do count on catching up, as I recently moved from Switzerland to Uruguay and have plenty of time to practice... So yes, my Alembics had a one month cruise across the Atlantic, a moment of intense anguish until they found their new home...!
Anyway, I wanted to thank you already for the threads and discussions you post in this club, as they have often opened my eyes to new dimensions of the bass universe.
Looking forward to read, and this time chat some more...!
Greetings to all from Montevideo...

Welcome to the club Pierre. Can I be the first to ask for pictures please?

Pierre - welcome aboard from Milwaukee!
Ahhh the Templar Secrets bass - truly a work of art, even without being plugged in.  
I can only imagine your anxiety as you awaited shipment of your babies to your new home.

Welcome to the forum, Pierre.
Please do post some new pix of your collection. We all love photos...

Well, pics from Grand Master are in the custom archive (http://www.alembicguitars.net/info/fc_grandmaster.html), as those of Templar (http://www.alembicguitars.net/info/fc_templarsecrets.html), and for the 5-string, I'll do some pics tonight and post them up (with a blackberry cam... i'm afraid it's all i've got).
Like a certain Governor from a certain State would say: I'll be back...!

Sorry Guys, too dark to make pictures tonight... Came back from work too late (it's winter here in the southern hemisphere), so i'll try again tomorrow... Thanks for being patient...

piotr_c

Wonderfull one-of-a-kind Alembic you have, neighbour (I'm from Brazil). Please send us more pics of it, specially a close up of inlays and this catchy 4 piece hole at the tail.
Not just a bass, this is an Alembic!

Again, sorry for the quality, but with a bbm, no could do better...! Good to have a Brazilian neighbour... I travel often to Sao Paulo and speak the language (although my written portuguese skill are catastrophic...!

As you understand, the theme is Alexandria, egypt, and all related to the alexandria library of course...
