I am seriously considering selling my Sf-2. I will get some pics up tomorrow. I have had it a few months, but really need the money. Works like it should. I need to get what I paid.
$630 Shipped!!!

You'll find another in time, best wishes for a quick sale.

For anyone who doesn't have an SF-2, I can't recommend them highly enough! They are truly the magic box that provides the missing ingredient to the sound you are trying to get. I use mine to mainly get more punch out of my rig, whether I'm using my full Eden stack or my Fender Rumble 350 combo. I can dial in the punch in any room with about an 1/8th turn of the frequency control on the low channel, then use the dampening ratio to either fatten up the bottom or get rid of boomy bottom in some rooms. Then I use the high channel to give me an edge on the highs in high pass mode, then flip the switch to low pass mode to get a really nice midrange tone when we play Journey songs that need that sound.

$630 is a great price for this amazing piece of equipment! They list for $1675 new & are very hard to find used.

+1 for what Rusty wrote.I've had mine for 21 years and won't leave home without it but fear not bassman.Another will find it's way to you again.I can sympathize with your situation as I recently was forced to sell one of my cabinets but I have faith that I can replace it in the future.

I actually traded away an SF-2 that was included in the sale when I got my doubleneck - did end up finding another one so it is possible!

I have used mine a lot for recording, but never got it worked into a live rig (though admittedly I haven't had much of a chance). Sometimes I visualize using it just for one low pass filter so that I can use it with non-Alembic basses.

I hope you work things out so that either you don't need to sell it or get another one later!

I Like my Alembic SF-2 coupled with my old Alembic IN-2 . I currently like this combination directly to a power-amp and to the recording or FOH board or all simultaneously. In my opinion a combinations of the two units would be a winner for all applications of studio and live applications .

That picture of the IN-2 brings a tear to my eye.
Definitely the golden unicorn of Alembic and my personal holy grail
Mega envy there Wolf

Wolf, you should start a thread titled Alembic Artifacts & post pictures of all your historical Alembic gear! You have some really cool stuff!

sonicus · « **Reply #10 on:** March 23, 2015, 10:14:16 PM »

Slawie, NO intentions to make you sad my friend but only voicing my opinion that a combination of the two would be a spectacular winner in all circles for future production in my opinion. I hope that all is well with you .

Wolf

Rusty , I hope you are doing well . Thanks . I am actually thinking of doing exactly as you suggested . I really do have a 40 or more year collection of gear that the folks here might enjoy . The problem is more stuff keeps showing up . My new to me Alembic 73-32 will be the first to show quite soon in a thread all her own . ( sorry no hi jack intended )

Wolf I'm doing great & hope that you are as well! I have had the pleasure of seeing some of your collection in person & I know that people would love to see pictures! Every time I see a picture of the Wall Of Sound I smile & think to myself I've seen one of those boxes in person!

I didn't know you were getting another Alembic?! What kind? With that serial number, will it look like Keavin's #12? I can't wait to see pictures!

sonicus · « **Reply #13 on:** March 24, 2015, 07:05:02 AM »

Hello Rusty, I will start a thread for it soon . It has an Alembic Small Standard Shape .

rustyg61 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 24, 2015, 01:38:40 PM »

Awesome! Is it a Series I?
