Title: Looking to buy - AUSTRALIA (only) - Alembic 4 string
Post by: 7h3_7empest on June 24, 2020, 08:02:57 PM

Hello all,

First post here.

I am interested in purchasing an Alembic 4 string bass in Australia only.

I am located in Sydney and would love to see what might be out there, albeit i know that Alembics are a rarity in Aus. My only criteria is for a 4 string with filter-based electronics.

Please get in touch with me if you are selling or know of someone selling in Australia.

Cheers,
Evan

Hi Evan and welcome to the Alembic forum. i hope you find a great Alembic over there in Australia. We do see some come up from there once in a while and that its where I got my short scale series I from about 5 years ago.
All the best

Hello jazzyvee,

Thank you for the reply and the welcome.

Series I's are an amazing piece of art - well done on the find! Eight years ago i (foolishly) passed up on offer of a '77 Series II all original incl power supply for $4500AUD, been kicking myself ever since.

Glad to hear that you were able to find one in Aus and also promising for me in my search....Hoping to see if anything is out there!

Thanks,
Evan

If you like I can get in touch with the guy I bought mine in case he has knowledge of anyone alembics around. I recall he said he was a luthier so there is a possibility?

Hi Evan, 

While jazzyvee is checking with the person he purchased from, just thought I’d pass along this link for someone in Melbourne, he posted a picture of himself with an Alembic Series I on Instagram.

Hope you find one in your area!

Best,
