I wonder if Alembic would make an octobass classico?

doesn't seem like that picture is an octobass. i mean, it's huge... but it doesn't have the keys like the one in the video.

This historical bass is from the museum in Paris, France, where I was 3 weeks ago:

But no Alembic bass in the museum!  
Only one electric bass guitar which was a Rickenbaker.

So, is that Susan or Mary up the ladder?
 
You know, the real problem with this?  The rosin is a block the size of an SVT head !
 
The good news?  The piezo bridge has enough output to recharge your Prius.
 
Whaddya mean, 'Stanley wants to use it' ?  
 
The Anvil case for it was mistakenly taken to Long Beach and put on a container ship !!!
 
The shop called back:  They can't re-hair the bow till the Clydesdales come off the road after the Super Bowl.
 
No, DON'T let the endpin out any further.
 
Now . . . . where's the kickstand . . . .
 
'Tell him we can't find a five-string ! !'
