Has anyone here have any experience with one of these basses before? Looks very interesting 🤔

No experience myself, but apart from the logo there is nothing much that would make it an Alembic. Electronics maybe.

I would love to play one, if the neck is straight.

The necks were, if I recall correctly, a (fairly short-lived) joint project betwixt Alembic & Modulus for aftermarket use.  The electronics are not stock Fender (no visible pole pieces), and there is a battery box, so....

Can't tell from the pics if they're Alembics, Barts, or what, but I'm with Edwin; looks worth a play.
