I was going to get an Alembic. I speced it out with what I wanted and it would have cost over $15K. I could not justify spending that much of my "kids" money right now, as I have been diagnosed with a terminal disease (end stage renal failure). I have prayed for healing and am waiting now. It's all good and I am thankful each morning God wakes me. I almost died 2 years ago , so every day from here on out is a blessing. I believe in my healing but I still have to make preparations for my two kids future. One in college and one in high school.
Anyway Dave worked me a very good deal. His work is excellent. I figured I better get my dream bass while I could still play. I no longer gig, just play in church occasionally. I guess I ordered this one about August of 2007 and there is about 1 month to go. It is similar to an Alembic. Dave will not make exact copies of any other company's basses and rightly so. I did not want an exact copy anyway. I do like their style. Plus I wanted short scale. I have always owned long scale and can play them. It is just short scale is so much more comfortable, especially at my age. I have downsized everything. Lightweight amp, lightweight speaker cabs and lightweight bass.
