Post by: acidjazzman on March 26, 2006, 03:54:00 PM

hello from danville va, my name is nate and though i have never owned an alembic im hoping to change that sometime in the future. i currently own a '96 carl thompson and several pawn shop prizes  but have heard a lot of good things about alembics.  a friend of mine has an '85 exploiter that i thought he was going to sell me but backed out at the last minute: (   but that being said i got to play one and that was enough to set the hook in.  i will also say the alembic community  semms to be a little bit more friendly  than some of the others  that i will leave nameless and appreciate  all of the info you guys offer  i will probably be making a few bids on ebay for a good starter  as i have never seen an alembic  in a store  around my town.

Hello Nate,
I got two of my three Alembics off Ebay, the third was a local purchase. Several members in the club keep a ready eye on Ebay as well. Check out the Swap Shop thread.
Have fun!
Mike

Hi Nate. I'm just a few hours away from you. If you find yourself headed towards Richmond, let me know. My email is Marc@SonaKinesis.com (mailto:Marc@SonaKinesis.com)
Unfortunately none of the stores in Richmond seem to stock Alembics, but a salesman at the Guitar Center here thought that their store in Norfolk/VA Beach would. The store my Epic 6-string found me at, Metro Sound, stopped carrying Alembics many moons ago.  
You will be very happy indeed with an Alembic Bass! Best wishes to you in your quest for one.
Marc
