Hi Alain.
You'll probably have to email valentino or Mica and ask for a FTC thread to be set up. Be patient though - it could take a while.

Hi Graeme ,  
 
Thank's for your advice...it's a long to wait indeed , but on the other hand , what an exciting one too !!!...Btw , i go as often as i can to dublin ( with ryanair ) , is shannon closer to your place ?
 
ALAIN

Nope. Shannon is on the west coast of Ireland so much further away from Edinburgh than Dublin is. Why do you ask?
 
graeme

well , we're actually planning to go back to dublin for 2 days , this time , we would go with our drummer and his girlfriend to have a ( one more ) super nice time in dublin together . It would be great to meet an alembifriend and even more : see him on stage ! What do you think ? we would stay at the royal dublin hotel ...probably

Alain.
Your Geography is a bit off ;-) I'm in edinburgh,Scotland which is probably closer to belgium than it is to dublin ;-(
Hope you have a good time in dublin. It's somewhere we've often thought of visiting but have never got round to.

Alain,
 
I sympathise, as I too am in the waiting state.  At least you have one, I'm awaiting my first (and probably only ) one.  Unfortunately, patience is the only answer.

Hi Mark ,  
 
...i perfectly understand what you're saying about the  waiting state......and just like you , patience is the only answer . Well , when i think about it , i do prefer to be in a waiting state than a state of  nothing to wait for  ...!!!!!!!!!! mine should be for july or august , what about yours , can you give me the specs of your nex guitar ...and eta of course ?

Hi Alain,
 
I'm awaiting a Further guitar in birds eye maple with inlays.  I just love the swirly, fractal-like patterns of birds eye, though I must admit your quilted maple is stunning.
 
Eta I don't know, but would guess around the end of May.  I know you can't throw one of these beautiful instruments together in a couple of weeks and the waiting will be worth it.

Hi Mark ,  
 
You'll be the owner of a great instrument for sure . I wish you the best musical time you've ever had with a guitar . I'll be glad to look at the pics you'll surely post in the show case section !!!  
 
ALAIN
 

Hi Alain,
 
Thanks for the good wishes and same to you with your bass.  I have asked for an FTC thread so pictures will appear in the not too distant future I hope.  Having ordered an Alembic, my Strat now seems boring!
 
Mark

Hi Mark  ,  
 
...i know what you mean , i always say to myself : how am i doing to play on a spoiler model model... and in  fact , this spoiler is truly great , because it's an alembic of course !!! The bass i'm waiting for is a series 2 , should be great , even more than that . Ijust hope to have it for july , we play in a big festival around the 15 , and the 13 august , we play in a huge festival and should be opening for placebo and other well known band ...so i hope to have it for that time !!!
 
ALAIN

Hi Folks ,  
 
I spoke to Valentino this friday and told things were on their way . First Pics should come this coming week or the next one ...
 
Bye  
 
ALAIN

Hi Mica , Hi Val ,  
 
...just to know , is there still enough of this quilted maple to grace another top of a mark king new balance k body 4 strings ?
 
ALAIN

Hello Alain,
 
Chip is gone for the day, so I'll ask him tomorrow and let you know.
 
Valentino

Hi Val ,  
 
Do you know if there's a slice left for another bass ?
 
Many thanks  
 
 
ALAIN
