Title: Someone building a SC copy on Talk bass.
Post by: jazzyvee on May 05, 2023, 07:53:21 AM

MPU Brown bass | TalkBass.com (https://www.talkbass.com/threads/mpu-brown-bass.1601030/)
Even made a logo that  has some resemblence to the alembic logo too.

I think this the handiwork of new member Marko who the other day posted under the Wishing/Wanted section https://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=27864.0

I think you are right Adriaan...

Marko has great woodworking and machining skills. Whatever pickups he uses would benefit from the installation of threaded inserts to raise and lower them. The slotted flathead screws look weird.

I'm impressed he specifically picked the ~'74-late '77 "Brown Bass" style shape.  My favorite Alembic bass shape!
