Hi there in the States,
a very rare Alembic Series II 12-String and a wonderfull Essence 5-String are on the Bunny Bass site now! Bunny Bass shows very nice photos of the instruments. They come out of my collection and they are in great condition.
I introduced the 12-string some month ago at the Alembic Club. Hope, that they get nice new homes!
Bass regards from Hamburg
Uli

Oh man! Are this basses in the States now? I'm very interested in the Essence (read: I want it!) but I'm in Belgium so if it has to be shipped from the States back to Europe...
Shipping is nothing but the import taxes (21%) would make the price too high for my current budget. If somebody has a solution for this, please let me know!

Edit: does the Essence have a tight B=string? Damned, I want a 5-string! I have a Spoiler 4 but the fact that I can not gig with it (I need 5-strings for the band I'm currently in) hurts so much... :-)

Hi guineapig,
the 12-String is a guitar. The Essence is already shipped to the States, I?m very sorry!
But I own a Persuader 5-String & a Spoiler 5-String too. Both in great condition.
I would sell the Spoiler, it has a birdseye maple top.
If you are interested, let me know.
Best Regards
Uli

I'm very interested... my spoiler 4 is the best instrument I've ever played... (I must admit that it's the only alembic I've ever played, you don't see them much in Belgian shops) I really love the range of tones it has! I suppose yours is in good condition? Shall I mail you?

Hi,
a mail would be great! My adress: us@zwick4u.com
The condition is mint!

Hallo Tom,

rij van de Naamsepoort de Waversebaan op. Na 8 km sta je in Sint Joris Weert. Je kan er mijn Bonnie Alembic Series I met Series II electronica proberen. Tweak Peaks is nu helaas zonder power amp anders had je de F1-X en de SF-2 ook nog kunnen testen.

Trouwens voor de meest fantastische FULL Series II 6 snaren moet je richting Hofstade bij Mechelen rijden.
Jan Rivi?re speelt op Marylin.

Hey Paul,

Bedankt voor het aanbod! Verwacht maar een mailtje of telefoontje binnenkort. Ik ben wel geen superbassist (zeker nog niet op de 5-snaar) maar ik ben wel gepassioneerd door goeie sound. Ik speel al een hele tijd bas maar ik begin het steeds moeilijker te vinden om met zelfstudie verder te geraken. Ik hoop dus binnenkort eens te beginnen met het volgen van lessen om een betere basis te hebben. Weet jij toevallig geen goede leraar in de buurt van Leuven?

Tot binnenkort misschien!

And to all the other members: if only you guys knew what Paul is telling about you! Tsss... :-)

Nice Bocate top on the Essence!

I remember the 12 string; absolutely gorgeous!

Hi Dave,
you are absolutely right, the 12-string is outstanding.
I produced many records over the years, where Germany?s top guitar players used this 12-string. They all said, that they never played an instrument like this. It sounds from wonderfull clear to complete spacy, you\ll get any sound, you\re looking for. A fantastic instrument, where the people at Alembic even topped themselves!:-)))
The Essence is a great instrument too, the Bocate top is super and it plays wonderfull. But I own in between two more Alembics, a Spoiler 5-string and a Persuader 5-string.
And so, because I am a bassplayer, I gave these instruments to Jimmy at Bunny Bass.
For the money I get for them, I would love purchase a 5-string Mark King or something like that.

Bass regards to you & all the members of the Alembic Club from Hamburg

Uli

Hah! Closer inspection shows that twelve-string is really an eleven-string :-)! Does this mean an 8.3% discount?

ulisalm · « **Reply #13 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:40:58 AM »

Oh, shame on us!!! We\ll put two more strings on it.
Do you think, we could get 7,69% more???
