Finally got around to posting this in the right place this time. This is my first Alembic, probably not my last.

In other words: this is The Mandarin brothers and sisters.
Abosutely amazing bass!
I can SEE that!

I was browsing Bass Central, and I saw what looks like the Mandarin there on sale for $5,300!
 
Is it really the Mandarin, or a twin brother?  (And did you buy it from them, and they're just slow taking the pics down?)

Yes, it is my bass. Bass Central just hasn't marked it as sold yet.
