Alembic Essence Fretless

[Dr. Cheese]

The fretted version of this bass was one of two fretted Alembics that I had back in the early 1990's. Trevor Lindsey sounds good on fretless.

I've been intrigued by the Essence ever since reading a review in Bass Player Magazine. You owned one?!! Oh what a Lucky Man you were!!!

Back in the late Eighties and early Nineties, the base model Alembics were very affordable. I bought the four for $1,100 and a used five for $900.
