Hey guys I have been floating around here for quite sometime. I actually purchased a Distillate about a year back only to be disappointed and then sell it to a member here. I couldn't get used to the short scale. I play in a Grateful Dead Tribute band and about 4 other bands as well, ranging from Little Feat to jazz standards. I have owned Sadowsky's, vintage Fenders, MTD, and few Modulus basses, the last being a Q6 that I sold to purchase a 2004 Alembic Mark King Deluxe 5-string bass. This IS the most Amazing instrument I have ever owned....NOW I understand what everyone is talking about here. The craftsmanship is just unparallelled. The signature electronics are off the hook. Last night I debuted it and have realized bass I have been dreaming of. I do love dream and realize they do become reality, so next up is Series II Jimmy Johnson, but Just for Today I am Loving this bass:

That's a gorgeous bass Craig! Welcome to the wonderful world of Alembic!
What an amazing world to be in Rusty!!!!!
There is nothing better!
'cept a'nother...
...and one more after that one...
..and one more just to make sure the first three don't get lonely...
...and don't forget a guitar...
True that! Alembics are like tattoos, VERY addictive! I put a deposit down on a custom 5 string Series II Europa in October, waiting for the build to start is killing me!!
...and another guitar to keep the first one company... :-)
Welcome and great news you have found an alembic that you love.
