Alembic CL St. Louis

Great deal. You could probably flip it for a grand w/o too much trouble. I love my Epic, and paid a bit more for mine. It's a nice bass, though it may not be for everyone. If you're so inclined, this is a cheap way to get into Alembics. You can easily swap out the treble/bass controls for a lowpass/Q switch . . .

 

Have you ever played one? You might be surprised how much instrument you have for $800. Easy enough to flip if you don't fall in love, but beware.....they have a strange allure like a hot Latin woman.

I never thought I'd be a an Alembic owner either but an hour in a closed room might change your mind. It changed mine a long time ago.

I'd jump on it before it leaves.

 

Totally agree with Krispy. I will never forget that first hour in the store with the Alembic. It was the most compelling bass I had ever played in my life, for 45 minutes I sat there thinking about what I had to sell to fund the Epic. Later, I ended up buying a warmoth with a East-Meets-West Alembic setup, and I wouldn't be surprised if I own a series instrument some time in my life.

Clarity of tone. That's why I keep coming back to the Alembic.

 

I'm not an Alembic person myself, but it is a fine instrument. You can get your money back and more if you aren't happy with it and are able to float/invest the 800 bucks.

 

Crap! I check CL everyday. How did I miss this? I didn't even see the ad but an Alembic for $800 I would have bought unseen.
