MISTERY BASS....

(pssst...mystery...)

It looks like an Alembic, but I dunno enough about em to say whether it really is or not.

 

Looks like an old carl thompson to me. Deffinantly not an alembic. Alembic may have been the inspiration however.

Its likely a personal project someone did and liked aspects of both CT and Alembic.

 

I would lean more towards a Carl Thompson.

 

I don't think either makers would pass up putting their signature logos on a bass.

It'a a Hyak! It was built buy a former Alembic employee.I used to own two of them.

Taht's not a CT. Carl's only ever used two different headstock shapes, and that ain't one of them.

Maybe an old Moonstone? I know I've seen that headstock some where...

Hmm. Guess I was sorta kinda right...

(I told you I didn't know enough about it)

 

I have owned my Hyak for many years... I even have literature and it is scanned in so I can email it to you (shared with BunnyBass years ago). PM me and send an email address and I would gladly send you copies of the literature.

Included is one of five pieces of literature that I have to share.

Defo a Hyak!! I have one for 25 years. Brilliant bass

 

8 years. Pretty good.

 

Sign me up for a Hyak bass! Sounds like a winner.

 

Definitely not Alembic

 

I was thinking a one off alembic. Maybe that guy was making basses after hours using alembic's equipment. Looks like Alembic electronics. I remember an interview with Entwhistle where he said he was getting tired of all the external preamps, power supplies stc...I think thats when he packed in boris.

 

Yep, Zombie Thread....
