I see on Guitar Center's website in Southfield, Michigan that they have an F2B for $399. Of course, I live nowhere near there, but maybe someone here does!

I think the Southfield GC has me on speed-dial.

I'm out of the rackmount club, having sold two F-1X boxes and 2 power amps recently.

Malthumb, you're in Michigan? I thought I was the only one! Maybe we can meet sometime. I don't know anyone that even owns an Alembic besides myself. Get a hold of me through the email or here it's the same. Who would have thunk?

Wookie,

Actually there are at least three other Alembic Club members in SE Michigan. Of course, now you're gonna embarrass me and ask who they are.........

Well whos here from the dirty mitten?!? I did meet a Dr. In Ann Arbor who had an essence, other than that I'm the only person (not famous) that I know of that has an Alembic. Is there even a Alembic dealer close to us??? Btw I'm in Jackson if anyone cares.

I live in Farmington Hills. I am about a mile north of GC. I may stop there after work to check it out.

Wookie,
I did not know you were around these parts.

Bill, be careful... next thing you know you'll be into a rack unit instead of that compact Markbass amp

Heck yea, Bill! I was actually closer to you about 7 years ago I lived in Ann Arbor. But I only had my Elan 5 then, so I obviously wasn't as cool then lol! I creeped on your profile you have a MK bass! Those are sooo cool! I'm not sure but I think my Europa 4 might have the same electronics.... I don't really know the particulars of each model though. So how many of us are there in this area 4? 5? .... I bet there's like 10 on each street in California! I read somewhere there was or is get togethers so we can share our nerdiness/bass snobbiness of Alembics : ) I'd go if it weren't too far. If anyone wants to try to hang I'm down to try it!

You are right once again, Art. I will pass on the visit.

Wookie,
Its funny you mentioned the head count. I just bought a Europa 5 from a guy on Craigslist who had it for about 10 years. He lives in Canton. It appears our Alembic owners in Michigan are in hiding. lol
There may be a gathering in Chicago soon. If so, I plan on going. I have to look around here to see if Ii can see some pictures of your Europa.

Oh, I'm not saying anything is wrong with that Bill... I really like the tonal quality that I get with my F-1X and I only started using my first rack unit sometime last year. So don't let that stop you from looking at an F-2B, maybe a rack is just what you need

billostech · « **Reply #14 on:** March 19, 2012, 12:58:55 PM »

Thanks Art. I like the portability of my setup for now. If I am lucky enough to get a series bass, I may venture into another rig. Until then I will stay with what I got.
