Hi!
Here is my "new" Alembic Custom from 1991.
He got a new set of 2299/1B Optima (Maxima) 24 Karat Gold Strings. Sounds great!
I hope you like it.

Oh Andrew,
too many, my wife says!
Not enough, that´s what I say! :=))

Sorry Andrew, but I don´t count them. I love lefty basses and can´t resist if a rare one is offered here in Europe. Sadly the American market isn´t intrested these days. There are too much fees and costs for shipping. So if a good lefty is online here in Europe, I have not much time to consider. I think you have a much better situation in America.
There are some basses I´m looking for, but I think I will never have a chance to get them, like a lefty Gibson bass, or a lefty Telecaster bass.
But if I find one of these here, I will have problems with the family. :=))

It´s hard to be a lefty bass junky!

Thanks for this link!
But it´s too much money these days! I think this bass is it worth, but if I do it, I will be a single in future. :lol:
We have to ad 25% plus for the customs.
I think, everybody must have a dream.

Thanks for all!

Hey Arni... Your a good man.

I love your Alembic bass. She's a beut!

If you ever decide to sell your 4 string fretless Wal Mach II, please remember me.... I love that bass. Been on your board for many years and you have a wonderful collection.
