I also loved you got like a carekit. A folder with wax, allen keys, a trussrod wrench and a certificate

It's quite rare.

Just got a used Streamer $$.

Great bass! Straight forvard to set up (once you understand the bridge). Great tone!

The previous owner installed a metal adjust a nut. It's easy to use!

I found a emg btc 2 band preamp on stacked pot on a bass I don't use. 

I'll put a gotoh battery compartment on the bass later. The rout is for a double Gotoh. The batteries live under the control plate in the meantime. Lots of space.

Put on a new logo today. First try printing and applying a water slide decal.

Attatched another neck. Modded a pbass neck.

I wanted to see what  the bass would look like with a pbass headstock.I got  a Harley benton pbas to mod. I clear coated the headstock with wipe on poly.

Maybe a warmoth neck in the future. It has to be really special because there's nothing wrong with the existing neck, other than the logo.

This came out on the used market really cheap. I couldn't resist it. Too cooI! I shielded it and changed the pickups for a pair from a sire bass I had laying around. 

It came out sounding great! No need the do any other mods to it!

The squire pickups mesured 5 ohms and the Sire pickups 7 ohms. I was going the remove the pickups anyway because of the shielding-job. The Squier pickups sounded fine, but were a bit weak.

The tuners were supriseingly good. They're no hipshots, but i'd use them live.

I have a Handikapp. I mostly  sit down and play. Weight isn't much of an issue.

All hardware is Fender. Tuners and bridge too.

Clear coat over the wood I think.

Depends on the condition of the Alembic - is it modded, does it have original pickups, is it roadworn or in good condition etc. Generally speaking, most Alembic Spoilers would sell second hand for over £2k and FS ads at £3k+ are not uncommon. I believe thats more than a Yamaha Attitude would sell for. However, Alembics are not for everyone - the Spoiler has a 32" medium scale and the strings are parallel from bridge to nut, so it might not be your thing if you prefer long scale 34"

I have plenty of 34" basses, so thought I might try a 32" again. I had a Kubicki X-factor a few years back that I liked. I'll ask about condition and mods. Thanks!

I just saw a person wanting to trade an Alembic Spoiler for a Yamaha Attitude bass. I that a good trade? I have an Attitude LTD2 i dont't  use. Figured all try an alembic.

I traded it for Sterling ray34 HH with a roasted neck. The Sterling was a good bass. But I can't say I miss it at all.

I recently traded my last five string for a warmoth with  a usa Fender Jazzneck. Good looking wood on the body!

What do you think? Hardware is all fender and tuners too. Pickups are Lundgren (swedish pickup maker) vintage style.

I sold my Cirrus since I have a hard time playing 35" after a stroke 2 years ago. I really miss it!

I figured this would be almost like it, but 34". I really like the playabllty and looks of the bass.

Construction wise it like it more than my old Cirrus, but i liked the cirrus electronics more. It somehow felt more solid.

Great sound though. My main bass right now. 

I thought about installing a more modern preamp and keep the pickups, but I changed my mind. I'll keep it as is!

I found a lot when I searched google. Most of the info was from somebody trying to sell the bass

 I'll gladly have any info you might give me!

Hi!

I just got a new used bass and i would like some more info about it. I know it was made by ESP in Japan during he 1980-ties That's about it. Does anyone know?

I just got a used 2008 Hardcore aged Sandberg California off a pawn shop. Plays and sounds great! 

I had two Californa TMs before. This is a better playing and sounding bass for sure!

Here with the metal plate

I really don't like the locking jack. i have never got the point of locking jacks, I have never liked one, and this one is fairly stiff. I can't take the jack socket out with one hand, which means I need to lay the bass over, giving the chance to bash the head. Luckily there is no headstock! What are they thinking there! I think at some point it will annoy me enough to get rid of the locking mechanism.

 

 

I installed a new jack on mine. Got it from https://www.cliffuk.co.uk/products/xrp/index.htm

I got a plastic plate first. I later got the metal one. I had to drill that one. Installed a switchcraft jack.
