rogerstodge Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 God that's ugly, bet it sounds monsterous tho Quote

sprocketflup Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Needs more control knobs and switches I feel. Set the controls for the heart of the sun! Quote

gelfin Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) This is a monstrosity, but as it's mine I like it. The bass that is. [url="http://s970.photobucket.com/user/gelfin5959/media/mrs.jpg.html"][/url] Edited October 13, 2015 by gelfin Quote
KingBollock Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Every Alembic I have ever seen looks like it was designed by a toddler that has been asked to draw a guitar... Quote
alyctes Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I wouldn't buy it. But I couldn't anyway. I'm well used to people with pots of money spending it on stuff I dislike and/or find reprehensible. Quote
seashell Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1444763377' post='2885784'] ..this is a monstrosity: http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/76710.jpg [/quote] I can usually find something pleasing in the appearance of any bass, but that really is ghastly.

paul_5 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I'm in full agreement; more knobs than strings? I'm out. Quote
