Title: Hyak Bass - examining the possibilities
Post by: artswork99 on September 10, 2008, 02:14:15 PM

I am testing the Alembic waters and considering a trade for my 1979 Hyak bass (not really sure yet). I am seeking a medium or short scale Alembic (preferably short). I have taken good care of the Hyak over the years and it is in excellent condition.  The Hyak is a 35" scale with stereo power supply that performs very much like an Alembic Series instrument (all the same bass controls, 5 pin XLR and an excellent sound).  Below are a few quick current pictures of the bass along with literature specifications. I originally purchased this bass from Hollowood Music in Pittsburgh, PA circa 1980. Questions?  Thanks,  Art

Is all the dark wood Macassar ebony?  If so, cool!  That is quite a jewel you have.  Keep it!  Keep it!  Keep it!

I don't know for sure what all of the woods are.  When I purchased it there wasn't a case for it either (or any kind of wood identification) and Hyak had recently closed their doors. I've used a Mooradian gig bag since day one.  You never know I may get offered another jewel... if not I will continue to enjoy this one for sure. Thanks.

I have been convinced again to not explore the possibility at this time...  to me the rarity of the bass either gains me a good amount or I will need to keep it.  Thanks for the interest!

Hey Art... if you're still looking for a short scale, I never use my green SC anymore.  You're welcome to use it for a while and see if it suits you.
