t thing about alembic!)

this bass is simply amazing!it's like having 5 different kinds of basses in one! the tonal spectrum of this bass surpasses anything i have evr played. i had Alembic put a custom 11" radius and a 1.7 neck width(instead of the usual 1.75)the people at Alembic are amazing.mica is the greatest. she answers all your questions. there is nothing bad to say about this bass. as a matter of fact, i'm working with mica right now on modifying my electronics to "anniversary electronics" and change my side markers to sliver! more info on that when it is completed!!! stay tuned.... ALEMBIC...there is no other!!!
