Title: [SOLD] F1X and F2B For Sale-Ultra Clean!
Post by: sonofa_lembic on November 16, 2023, 08:46:09 AM
Seeing as I have about ten of these, I have decided to pass along a couple of ultra clean examples to the rest of you.  I have an F1X and an F2B available.  Both are in perfect working order, and as clean as can be cosmetically with no repairs or mods to the circuits.  As you can probably deduce, these preamps are my absolute favorite, and if you have not experienced what they can do for your tone, you have not lived.  They are really the only way to achieve the full potential of what your Alembic bass can do, and they are so reliable and road worthy.  Prices for everything Alembic on the used market are kind of nuts these days, so I thought I would price these fairly so that anyone can afford one.  Maybe this will be the first one you have tried, and you can discover the magic that I found way back in 1978.  Feel free to PM me for photos or to discuss shipping etc.  $595.00 each.

WOW!  At those prices I almost wish I didn't already have one of each (F-2B for my guitar rig, F-1X for my studio bass rig).   I'm sure the F-1X will soon be spoken for, too.

Bill, tgo

If I hadn't just bought another Barefaced cabinet yesterday the F-1X would be coming to Oakland. Would like one someday to complete my collection of Alembic preamps.

Amish question:  what is the difference between an F1-X and an SF-2?
I understand that an SF is like a Swiss Army knife of tone shaping.  What does an F1 offer?

If things change on the F-2B, I would be interested.

The F-1X is a mono pre-amp.  The SF-2 is a stereo filter, though it has an internal switch that allows it to be used as a rudimentary pre-amp.    The SF-2 can be thought of as Series II electronics plus in a box.
