Look with care if you're an Alembic fan...
« on: November 03, 2011, 08:48:28 PM »

At least the current price reflects the transgressions committed against this bass.

What a horrible image to wake up to. Thanks, Pilgrim.

The Roadkill bass...I've never seen bitumen used as a finish before.
The body looks like it met the same saw-wielding maniac who attacked the Albert Lee.

FWIW I don't find the original Epic silhouette significantly more appealing than this particular hatchet job. It's just a fugly little bass made fugly in a different way.

I think they use that finish over here on municipal boxes/posts/walls to stop people posting bills...
