Title: "Vantage" bass with Alembic P/U's
Post by: benson_murrensun on March 18, 2008, 12:56:53 PM

Bass Northwest is listing a used Vantage bass which contains two Alembic P-style pickups and a low-pass filter. Seems like the price is right.

Those were pretty well made in the day.  I'd be surprised if it weren't pretty close to the performance of a Spoiler or Persuader for a very low price.  Heck, you could probably rip out the electronics and sell them for the $399 purchase price.

Wow...neck-through design with Alembic electronics for $399.00!!!  Can't go wrong there.  With the current exchange rate, they probably owe you money.
