FinnDave Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) SOLD Oh, sweet irony! I finally achieved my dream of owning an Alembic a few months ago, played 4 or 5 gigs with it, and suddenly discovered that I really need was a six string bass. Now I have two of them, and bills to pay, so the lovely Alembic has to go. It's a 1998 Epic four string, and the Alembic build sheet for it says: top: California Walnut accent: Maple body: Mahogany neck: 3-piece Maple with 2 Walnut pinstripes fingerboard: Ebony pickups: MXY controls: Epic volume, pan, bass, treble, mono output originally made for: Guitar Center, Santa Ana, CA birthday: June 26, 1998 The bass is well set up and plays as you'd expect an instrument of this class to play - if I ever switch back to 4 string, I'm going to hate myself for letting this go, but needs must. No case included. so it will need collecting (West Oxfordshire) or a meet up. I will be in South Devon the weekend of the 8th/9th December and in the Wirral 15th/16th December and can bring the bass with me if there is a buyer there.

Conan Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I never understood why Alembic only use two screws per pickup. The first time I played one I thought I had lost the other two! These play and sound great. GLWTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgehouse Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Gawd, if the 74P had gone by now I'd possibly be tapping you up for this - I'm after fretless, but this would be a fretted that I would consider!!! Lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it odd at first, but it is a very stable and secure system, one screw adjusts the height and the other locks it in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely. I don't expect it to go too quickly, so you might be in luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassManGraham Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 These are superb basses, light, nicely balanced, beautiful necks and that wonderful Alembic piano tone for a very fair price. I recently relieved Bass Direct of one, otherwise I would be interested. GLWS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
