dmccombe7 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) I'm a big fan of wood finish basses like Alembics. Love a nice rich coloured wood. They dont fit with the style of music i play tho. Dave Edited October 15, 2021 by dmccombe7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
