Show me your Alembics

[Spleenface92]

My 1996 Alembic Epic. Got it used on ebay for $1500. I absolutely love this thing. It's my only bass I actually put effort into cleaning and I was genuinely upset when a belt buckle gave it a bit of rash on the back.

.........
Was wondering if there is an Alembic owners club or group here on TalkBass?
If anyone knows of one, can you pass me the link to the thread, so I can grab a number.
Thanks!

Only Alembic Club you'll ever need............[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I had one exactly like that stolen from me in Oyster Bay NY in 1986 mmmmm?

After twenty one years of steady service, here she is, warts and all!

Alembic Rogue -4string. 1998 Tuned as a tenor bass. So sweet n unique.
Alembic Epic, 5 string fretless. 1996.

Can't believe how expensive they are these days!

scannermanbass I hate you

I will part with my Clarke Signature Standard when it is pried from my cold dead hands.

And I am going to have it shipped back to Alembic when I shuffle off this mortal coil.

Been gigging the Mark King / Series II more lately. Here's a couple nice Alembic action shots from a bar gig and an art fair gig. The band is Stroller Goat. We are on Facebook.

Does this count?

I do not think so.

Does this count?

Edwin,

That definitely counts, since modifying Guild Starfires is where Alembic got their start.

2010 Alembic Custom Elan 5
2006 Alembic Custom fretless Spalted Maple
1990 Alembic Elan Quilted Maple Stormburst finish
1988 Alembic Spoiler Coco Bolo
1983 Alembic Spoiler Koa, refinished: Black

1991 Fender Prodigy with Alembic pickups and electronics

Now I must save for a Series I/II

These Alembics are giving me serious GAS.
When I started looking for a boutique bass Alembic was #1 on my list.
Got side tracked and ended up with a Tobias.

 

[FC Bass]

At least that's a very good sidetrack

I was in a corny mood today: What would have happened if Les Claypool would have gotten the job @ Metallica in '86? Watch and shiver... Youtube link
Featuring my '90 Elan and '06 Fretless (see pics above)

I've been drilling holes in my fretless bass and upgraded her to Signature electronics
(Volume, Pan, 2 x filter + Q switch)

Before:

See pic in post #415[img]

(Volume, pan en 1 x filter + Q)

Some day (when I learn to play fretless) I'll post some soundclips.
