Show me your Alembics

[Bassconbeatz]

That's is hot! Ever since I got my first Alembic, I now appreciate them alot more.

Unique and beautiful finish on that Elan.

Here's mine again-all of my Photobucket links got broken when I moved some stuff around.

What a piece of wood! Great scott, I'm gobsmacked! And the finish looks stunning too!

 

[malthumb]

Just when I thought I was gas-proof, you gotta go and post somethin' like this...........

My newest. Just received it Wednesday. Europa 5.

You really ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Peace,

You really ought to be ashamed of yourself.

I agree completely. Wow.
This is me with the graphite '82 and bandmates at a recent benefit gig for Iraq Veterans Against the War. Sorry I couldn't insert the image into the post, but Photobucket's fighting me tonight. Link Removed

GAS, GAS, GAS guys. I don't own one, but have wanted to for awhile. You all shouldn't post these pictures, unless you want to be responsible for me selling everything, getting divorced, lying in a gutter somewhere clutching my beloved Alembic.

I hope to try one out someday, somewhere that I can find one---provided my credit card has room.

Absolutely beautiful instruments.

After a lengthy stay in Santa Rosa for refinishing and the addition of an omega cut, my '78 Schedua Series I is returning on Friday. It's hard to wait! It's going to make a great touring mate with my Starfire.

This is getting to be an expensive thread, but a very nice one. Here's a recent pic of my humble Spoiler, spoiled by my cheap camera and lack of any photography skill. Some of you guys take awesome pictures!

Took some pics of my new Europa.

With my Essence:

 

[malthumb]

...

A long time ago Mica explained to me that the Essence body is actually a combination of two other bass designs. The "bass" side uses the Rogue template. The Treble side uses the Small Body / Stanley Clarke Signature template. Seeing your two basses side by side certainly makes that clear. The upper horn on the Rogue has a slightly more radical contour, but otherwise......

After a lengthy stay in Santa Rosa for refinishing and the addition of an omega cut, my '78 Schedua Series I is returning on Friday.

Did that bass used to have the standard Series I "point" at the body end? Did they have to add any material to make the omega, or is that achieved entirely by removing wood from the "point"?

 

[Hoover]

Wow, I've never seen an Alembic with mixed wood stringers! I presume the central stringer is ebony; what're the others? Look too reddish-brown to be purpleheart.

Good looking bass. Hell, all of these Alembics are good looking basses. Me got GAS...

 

[ped]

I hate you Bassjigga!!!

Here is my old Elan 6 - no longer mine but nice nevertheless

And a little sound sample:

Got any sounds anyone?

The central one is is ebony, the other two are vermillion.

The Brown Bass I've always wanted. Built to my specs, feels like an old friend already...
