Unusual having the solid body wings like that. I like the look of the maple. This bass also gives me a good idea of what some 50 year old Eastern Maple slabs I have would look like as a bass.

Looks like the white one that was for sale recently (More for the collector than the bass player this is not the original finish)

Flip - Good catch. I think you might be on to something. Personally I like seeing the maple rather than covering it up with paint.

I thought that when I saw it too Flip. I actually liked it in white paint too. I'm not as keen on light woods as I am with the darker woods. Now if that was in Cocobolo or madagascar ebony, my fingers would be twitching.
The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

I'd probably be interested if it were in the US at a US price.

That bass speaks to me. I love its body and I am a huge fan of the crown head. But I want a series and won't settle for anything else.

It's the one and only Edwin van Huik!
 
Here's a thread under Artists and Their Alembic. Best to start with the archived messages first.
 
And a more recent thread here!

Here's an EVH that I am proud to call mine.

Pretty sure that Mica told me that this is the only one to be offered for sale by a dealer in the United States. Excellent balance with this different body style, and very versatile with the East Meets West electronics.
 
Edwin Van Huik is a great guy. We exchanged some messages when I told him that I picked up his signature model here in the States.
 
I like that 5-strring. Someone here should take it home!
