Interesting observation, my only counter to this is that still sell well new and a demand is there from a certain type of customer -

We are also as reasonable as we can be with our prices, for example a pre-owned Series 1 in stock at £5500.00... -
Poly on all these basses, looks absolutely stunning in person

17.5mm string spacing on these Hadrien Feraud Burners

Whatever works best for you at the end of the day, there is no right or wrong.

It is currently being edited, hang fire for a while and keep check on our social media accounts and Youtube

A true single coil pickup will always sound more 'open' and 'natural', than a dual coil that has been split in half
-
But it will never sound like a true single coil due to magnetism

Well no, they are completely different, not better or worse
-
Just a heads up, we have filmed a short video on the 5 Burners we have in today, keep your eyes peeled

Biased opinion here potentially, being as we sell these AND we are big fans of Hadrien's playing. Massive fans of these basses, they are beautifully made with some of the best setups I have ever played. The necks are thinner in dimensions in terms of the back to front measurement, pretty lightweight and versatile enough tonally

Hi - I have only ever felt neck dive on the small body basses, I personally have a Series II in 32" which is balanced, but very heavy (even with the chambered body) It was me (Marcus), who spoke to Alembic and got them in, I have been passionate about this brand for as long as I can remember, so I am extremely excited about this Have a great day -

They are amazing basses, the build quality is just off the charts and the range of tones from one bass is pretty much unmatched (to me, we are all different of course) I can't wait to be displaying these basses here, I dreamt of owning an Alembic for years as a kid, and had one myself for a few years, which is just dreamy! Hope to share some Alembic love with all the UK guys! Cheers for the comments -

We cannot wait, we have a couple of Stanley's and a Mark King to get us underway, then no doubt we will have some series basses etc down the line somewhere -

but is it 1/4 of the bass, thats the question ;), Seriously though, each to their own, and if you can afford it great, if not then get a pre-owned example -

We are really really excited about this! Big fans of Alembic here, always trying to get in pre-owned instruments where we can, and to have the opportunity to open some Alembic sized parcels from the USA is a bit of a dream come true. If you guys ever have any questions at all, just drop us an email/call Hope everyone is keeping well! -
Just wanted to say a very happy new year to everyone, have a great evening whatever you are getting up to! Look forward to speaking to some of you in 2025

Cheers for the positive comments guys, have a great Christmas and new year
