Spotted across the street from Alembic....

Looks like the April fool's custom-o'-the-day!
Who are you trying to FOOL. There are no hills across the street from Alembic!
That is indeed the WNW view from Alembic of Taylor Mountain, which seperates Santa Rosa from the Sonoma Valley wine growing region. This was a rare sighting of an Alembird out getting some exercise.
And I always thought that 'body wings' were those pieces of wood attached to either side of the neck...
WINE GROWING REGION!? Explains why he thought he saw a flying BASS.
(I thought they grew grapes and ferminted wine)HMMMM
Shouldn't that rather happen in a WINE DRINKING REGION?
Gruesse, Pablo
I've heard that certain types of fungal tea can produce this type of effect.
Maybe it was a shroom growing region, like this:

THIS is a load off my mind . . . I was afraid I was the only one seeing this thing. Did you hang around to see the black helicopters shepherd it back to Nevada . . . oops, gotta get off here NOW, they're he(E#)E)*Y)IFHD)POW!!*E)FH)D*Y)(*E)(*#)TIPJ(*#BOOMBOOMBOOM!!^_(^(^(_$^(UYJGJODJAW!>#NOOOOOO??!?#?$?$@PWE . . .(transmission terminated)
Hmmm ...
Where'd Joey go?
It looks cool anyway.I'd like to have it for my desktop wallpaper.
Joey, Joey! I hope they let him out before they brain wash him and he forgets everything about bass setup Michael
Well I'm feeling much better now . I am going down to Guitar Center and buy a Fender and an SVT . Muller and Scully are driving me. The black helicopter took me out to Dreamland , and Ed Roman was there and told me I could not be in The New World Order without one. I'm feeling much better . Fox, I want one with real high action . Noiseless pickups would be nice, am I the only one that hears this buzzing noise . . .

It's all clear now.
Clear as an azure sky of deepest summer.
Cue Beethoven's Ninth.
Extra points if you get the reference.

I saw it...it was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now...
Smokin Dave, send me an e-mail and I'll send a larger wallpaper-worthy version with the reply.
Joey (bPb), I used to hear buzzing, but it went away when I followed your setup guide. Thanks!
Brad - got me there, I was thinking Roger Dean/Yes/Firebird Suite, but I think that's Stravinsky....
cool Photoshop job.

Brad:
Want to meet down at the milkbar? Me, Alex, and a few droogs thought we'd stop by after a bit of the old ultra violence with Billy Boy and his yarbles (if he has any yarbles). Unless, of course, we decide to go HOME. I thought we could jam, perhaps play Singin' in the Rain? Do I get the extra points?
Bill, tgo
Bill,
You get extra points.
I'm going to see if I can see the aforementioned bird week after next-- I'm headed to the mothership!

Brad:
Enjoy your visit, is it your first? Also, what's a Rory Tribute ? (from your profile)
Bill, tgo
This will be my second visit. I'm bringing a digital camera, so I'm excited about getting to take some photos.
The Rory tribute is just how I started referring to my in-progress 6-string (bass) balance-K, since I basically copied Rory's bass (you can compare his and mine in the factory to customer section).
I guess it's a bit of a post-modern copy, since I did change a couple of things (bookmatch to center top, carved omega crown headstock, ebony laminates, altered tailpiece, SII electronics, and inlay (okay, that's more than a couple of things))
For those who are attempting to get senior management approval (a.k.a. The Colonel in my house ) for a trip to Alembic, just remember that Alembic is smack dab in the middle of the wine country, and there is a lot of great scenery and shopping (boutique clothing/furniture/etc.), as well as the wineries (of course), and some great spas and bed and breakfasts.
Brad
Thanks.E-mail on the way.
Brad:
Now I get it. Rory brought his basses to my studio when he lent me a DS-5. Very beautiful instruments. Well chosen inspiration.
Bill, tgo
Wine growing seems to go well with building basses:

We will sell no bass before its time.

This was spotted across from another bass manufacturer recently.
