A Perfect Way is a cool tune. No commercial crap on that CD.

Your singer does a decent job.

id kick one of your guitarsts in the nuts so we can have more bass up front though...

I'll never be lucky enough to spend 4 grand on an Alembic.

You can easily come by an Alembic for much less than 4 grand, as long as you don't have your heart set on a Series instrument. Keep an eye on the For Sale/Trade section and you will be surprised what you will find pass by (like these:

thanks to hydragyrum and danno.

Danno, I'm not sure if you were being sincere or you were just promoting your band. Anyway, you seem sincere enough. I took the never say never to heart and started today with a positive outlook. Guess what happened?

My former employer contacted me (we are in dispute over wrongful dismissal) and I may soon be looking at a $180,000 payday!!!

So, I bought your CD from iTunes and although your band is a bit heavier than I'm used to you guys rock pretty hard. I didn't hear any weakness in the lyrics or vocals, so keep it up and you'll be building a much larger fan base.

I'll pass your tunes on to some friends if you don't object...

Thanks, I was sincere. I hope your fortunes increase and your bass dreams come true. Thanks for getting the album. Everyone counts. Next release will be with a new label and management. Never give up on your dreams and ambitions. Alembic and otherwise.

Hey Skydigger.... Check some pawn shops in Texas. Chances are you'll find an Alembic P-bass copy, w/out Alembic electronics.

Just a thought....

thanks. I've already got the Alembic pickup and harness. I'm now thinking about adding a graphite neck to a Warmoth body.

I do love the pawnshops although Texas is a little far from the Yukon...

A word of warning: the pawn shop reference was an inside joke.

Every other month or so someone offers a very cheap P bass copy for sale with a decal saying Alembic Elan plus a serial number, and they seem to pop up mostly in Texas pawn shops.

Hi Skydigger,

I bought about 8 years ago Alembic guts: a PJ combination with Vol-bal-Fil-Q combination.
Only about two years ago I decided to use them in a more or less self designed project 5I guess the right bass to build it in just won't walk by)I asked a luthier -Ellio Martina in The NEtherlands- to build me a bass around it: a Sadowsky-FenderTele-DC Curlee hybrid.
I didn't use the Alembic logo (which I DO have BTW as a pendant).
It is -following what my colleagues bassplayers her eover the pond say- one of the best basses one can play. I have to add at this that those players are most of the time Fender-addicts. So in fact they say that it is the best sounding Fender-look-alike.
Oh well ...I don't consider this as an insult.
Paul the bad one

Looks like you've fallen asleep Paul. You need to liven up the set list ;-)

Graeme

p.s. Just kidding, that's a sweet looking bass.

Paul,

I've always admired that bass- I'd LOVE to do a self-build one day with the exact same pickup configuration.

palembic · « **Reply #25 on:** November 23, 2007, 02:42:34 PM »

Hehehe,
I am a very cool & quite bassplayer -mmm...in my dreams.
That bass is a very funky lady! I'll post more of her when I 'll do the new family picture.
Thanks bro's.

Paul TBO

Paul thats awesome that you've got a bass that is uniquely original and that sweet sounding.

I've decided to hang on to my Alembic P pickup until I can decide something special for it. I've got my eye on another project in the meantime...
