White Cloud

Personally I couldn't live with that.

Same here with Rotosounds purchased through Amazon.

This mirrors my own experience exactly earlier in the tour at Glasgow. Word for word.

I have been friends with Chris for some years on Facebook (which doesn't make us friends, obviously) after happening upon his work by accident. I haven't been able to get my hands on one of his basses, however really dig his designs, craftsmanship and overall ethos. He seems like a good guy who does what he says and says what he does. A very talented musician and vocalist too by all accounts.

Me too.

I concur with Misdee. I previously owned a four string Persuader, and as nice as it was I would expect an Alembic from much higher up the food chain for the asking price quoted. The signatures add minimal value in my view.

Lovely bass. Play it healthy 🙂

The first Firm album made a big impression on me at the time of release and remains a personal favourite. Love Tony's playing. Midnight Moonlight in particular!

Absolute bargain. Definitely (maybe?) a US model. High quality bit of kit. Congratulations!

I've owned both models. An earlier 80's graphite necked Arpege and a 1990 Passion with the 90/10 neck. The in's and outs have already been covered in this thread in a way which would put me to shame, so I'll leave it at that. I consider them amongst the best basses money can buy.

That is stunning work. Congratulations!

Believe it or not, I actually remember watching that performance live. Good times.

I once owned a Japanese Eagle. Stunning instrument.

The 80's was the bass bomb!
