hi gaby
the only time i've ever actually played an alembic was at a music store, e. u. wurlitzer, in boston about 22 years ago. it was a distillate -- probably the simplest stock alembic ever offered -- but the sound, the tone, was amazing. despite the fact that i was surely not even close to the best player they had heard in that shop, everyone gathered 'round to check it out. i'll never forget how that distillate felt and sounded that day
almost a quarter of a century later, it's my turn to own an alembic. mine will have 20th-anniversary electronics with an added master-volume control: essentially the same as yours, except with master/bridge/neck volume instead of master/pan
when mica and i put together the specification for my bass, i asked her how she thought it would sound. without a second's hesitation, she said it'll sound fabulous! it's an alembic!
play it in good health and enjoy every note. and welcome to the club
