After years of searching - I have finally purchased my 1st Alembic Bass.  I'm so happy -looks to be a beautiful relationship...
 

Nice GHOST coco bolo ;-)

Maybe a cat ?

As a proud SCSD owner myself, let me say welcome to the family! Purchasing my Coco 2 years ago changed my life as a bass player, & I wish you many years of enjoyment with your new baby! She's gorgeous!

Excellent choice for first Alembic, SC Deluxe was my entry point into the world of Alembic basses.
