Title: How many Alembic basses?
Post by: californiaman on June 24, 2008, 08:37:22 AM: Good morning bassers,
I'm new here and was just wondering How many Alembic basses are here.
Add your bass to the total and lets see how many we can come up with.
I got the idea from a Telecaster forum last month.
I have 1, five-string Spoiler.

Post by: hieronymous on June 24, 2008, 04:50:54 PM: My opinion - start another thread/count on formerly owned. If it gets included here, then some instruments could get counted twice or more!

Further,
Series I guitar;
Series I 12 string guitar
(Does an employee shopnight guitar count?)

Title: How many Alembic basses?
Post by: 3rd_ray on June 27, 2008, 06:01:48 AM: On the top bass, the neck wood looks like maple. On the bottom bass, the neck wood looks different. Is it a different wood or is it an amber tint on maple?

Both are nice basses, that's for sure. What are the top woods?
Title: How many Alembic basses?
Post by: 82daion on June 27, 2008, 04:45:22 PM: I'd wager that the bass on the bottom is somewhat older and that the finish has yellowed-my '75 has taken on a similar tint.

Those are lovely basses, by the way.

Title: How many Alembic basses?
Post by: peter_jonas on June 28, 2008, 05:38:19 AM: Yes, both necks are maple / purpleheart. The top bass is a '78 refinished about two years ago, while the bottom one is a '77 refinished sometime in 2000 or 2001. You cought me off guard with the top woods, I'd have to look that up. The bottom one is Koa. Manfred, the previous owner put it up on showcase, you can actually see more photos of it here:

http://club.alembic.com/Images/411/2882.html?1044651173 (http://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=8511)

Those photos were taken in 2002 and the neck was not yellow at all then. It is more obvious there that the neck is maple.

Title: How many Alembic basses?
Post by: malthumb on July 05, 2008, 11:02:24 PM: Granted that this is already inaccurate, I don't think Keavin, fmm or peter jonas contributions got added because the number of Series I basses did not go up. So I'll add in the 4 basses the discussed, plus my own Series I. Then I'll add my 5 string as a Custom, since the s/n has MKC in it. That brings us to 82 basses, 38 participants
