Hey Tom,  
 
Is that a strip of ebony under the bird tailpiece?  I completely missed that the first time I looked at these pics...  I love how the grain in the body wood almost looks like it's reaching up to blend with the top.

It must be said before but just to refresh my mind: neck is mahogany-maple-walnut-maple-mahogany?? Front is Clarowood/ Californian Black Walnut??Body Myrtle??? Back
 
Paul the bad one

hi guys,
 
Hollis, yes thats ebony under the bird bridge from what I understand it aids in the sustain!!!! and its a beautiful finishing touch.
 
Palembic, the neck is mahogany/Beech/ with a walnut strip in the center, the body is Myrtle and the top is california walnut, although this particular top for a Brown bass its very flamey and colorful I havent seen another top like this one, on a BB before and I LOVE IT!!!

Fantastic Tom.

Wow, an amazing combination of woods! Beautiful indeed!

Thanks Guys, for all the complements! ... I think I read/heard somewhere Alembic has been making Brown Basses since 1971, so this combination of woods is tried and true.
I honestly have never heard such clarity and sustian on any other bass I have owned before. The electronics are very versatile as well, (like Ive heard many times) Booming lows and crystal highs!
I will and have owned many other basses
but Alembic will always be my first choice.

looks just like STANLEY'S first bass,very goodlooking indeed!,,,what are those two toggles by the input jack?

Hi Keavin,
About the 2 toggle switches....
One is for the LED's (red) and the other is for the Mono/Stereo jack  heehee what a wonderful idea (it splits the signal of the PUP's, i.e. Neck PUP left side, Bridge PUP right). I havent actually played out live in stereo yet, but It seems when I go to record to 2 channels in our 16 track the tone is enhanced and it seems to me a bit louder....
Now its only a matter of time before I get an F2B and a stereo poweramp setup. right now (live) Im using an Eden WT400, which sounds fantastic!!!.
