Title: Alembic Spyder 8 String J.Entwistle Bass
Post by: geepee on December 12, 2021, 02:18:12 PM
Hey folks,


It's been pretty much a year since I got this bass, so to celebrate the anniversary I've put together a demo! 8's aren't very common so I hope this is enlightening! Cheers, any feedback is welcomed and if you've seen the video already, I hope you enjoyed it.


Thanks so much!


George

Beautiful bass and thanks for taking the time to make and post the video.  That thing sounds incredible clean and with effects!  I like the use of stereo to send one pickup through effects and the other clean, very nice, I will have to experiment with that approach.  I liked your reverb too, what reverb pedal are you using?  Nice playing as well. Rock on and I look forward to your next video!  :)

Thanks so much for watching! It's a nice thing! The stereo thing is cool however, for gigs, it could just be a hassle! I suppose it depends on the type of gig! Yet to try in all honestly with this bass! Stereo is great for recording though, it's a lot of fun! The Reverb is coming from the ZOOM B3, sadly discontinued! It's just a long 'Hall' type setting! Cheers man! Have a great one!

Good stuff George. I watched it yesterday on facebook.

From the great basses behind you, i see that like me, you have also been caught up in the "Alemb-demic". However if you get bitten by that that Spyder you may just turn into another Bass Superman. 😂

Have a great time with that bass. I will definitely catch more of your gigs to hear you play those incredible basses.👍🏾
I wonder what is next on your radar.🤔

Great George, I don't think I will have an opportunity to see an 8 string Alembic around here in Brazil, thanks for sharing.
