Hi,
I've seen only a Supernatural in my life... And only recently have I been able to fulfill a lifelong dream of owning an Alembic... So it's quite hard here in Italy to have them side by side
Hello all,
I've recently (last saturday...) seen Mark King in Pisa - Italy, and noticed he uses two Supernaturals onstage a red one and a brown one. Having a 1980 Alembic Series I, I'm guessing how the tone of those is comparing to my ol' pal...
Some medium scale basses (I'm referring to my Alembic Series I) are a pain in the a$$ when choosing strings: having separate bridge and tailpiece, normal medium scale string sets are too short and regular long scale sets are too long (winding on the tuner post).
Some Laurel fingerboards I had were extremely gray-ish, very unattractive. For feeling, they were OK.
I have to see the fretless in person, but I think that some oil or carnauba wax treatment will make them virtually identical to rosewood.
