  1. I've had my bass for 11 years now and the plating still looks like new.
  2. Yep i believe you can only get the original electronics from them as long as you can provide the serial number. Though you can buy single filter activator systems.
  3. I hadn't used this bass much for a good number of years. Mainly because i play mainly 5 string and well it's purple and has that P-bass sound which when I bought it i didn't really understand what that meant nor was that keen on once i found out what it was. Then a 3 or 4 years back i had a gig backing a singer on some classic soul and funk and decided to take this one along for a change. It sounded great so i decided to give it a chance with a makeover, refret, new pickups to match and chrome knobs to match the hardware, then re-strung last year with flats. Still not sure how long i will keep them on that bass but for now they sound fine for the 70's tracks i've been practicing and gives me a bass with a different tonal vibe.
  4. The bass looks in really good nick. The thing i would also suggest is to make sure the electronics are original as they are extremely expensive to buy from the factory. I've seen many alembics on sale over the year with non original electronics inside. Not that alternative electronics won't sound good but it won't give you the full alembic experience.
  5. Nice, that looks in good nick. and especially for a facebook sale. I don't really know what protecting you get buying from the FB market place if it wasn't as described.
  6. I have 30.75", 34" and 35" and no difficulties switching between any. I do prefer a short scale 4 string bass.
  7. Superb album with some top notch musicianship. I remember seeing the band live at a place called the Coachhouse in California whilst on a holiday in 93. Got to meet Billy Cobham and Larry Carlton after the gig too.
  8. I am so far i've started working my way through some of the exercises on there.
  9. I must have missed that post. I have 5 stringer that is up for sale and would have replied.
  10. That's an incredible looking bass and i'm a big alembic fanboy. Madagascar Ebony is one of my favourite woods for Alembics and they don't come up for sale often. All the best with the sale.
  11. I had my bass refinished from it's all see through purple finish to a clear finish to show the Quilted Maple top. I had a refret done, new chrome knobs and new pickups which are cream but i don't have a picture of those on this computer. I had the refinish and refret done by Toby Diggins at Jaydee Custom Guitars...... and this is the first bass i have kept flats on. They have been on for about 6 months now and i have to say i have taken a liking to how they sound on this bass. That said I doubt if my other basses will get flats.
  12. Fine looking modification! Does it still have all the variax gubbings inside or have you changed those too?
  13. There is no gear i need to get this year and i have decided to re-start double bass lessons which i'm sure will do mor for my bass playing than new gear. I started just before covid and haven't really found enough time to get back to it. Had the first one a couple of weeks ago and have another tomorrow.
