This morning I bid goodbye to my Exploiter. It wasn't easy, but I just didn't play it enough to justify keeping it, and I don't play out so the shape doesn't get the exposure it deserves. It wasn't easy - this was the first bass I bought (of many) since I got back into playing in 2002 - but it went to a fellow Alembic Club member, so at least it's still in the greater family!
 
So now my own personal Alembic family is down to this:
 

 
I know it looks like the desktop pic I posted above, but I wanted to commemorate the event officially. Also, the sale was in the works which is why I had the foresight to take the picture.

Hello Harry! I know you might be feeling a little down about your Ex Exploiter but I asure you shes in a good home and I will keep good care of her & it was a pleasure talking to you. I will post a picture of my new family (including the Exploiter addition)soon! If your double neck ever leaves home please give her directions to my house.And again thank you for keeping the Exploiter in the Alembic Family!....Steve

Hello Everyone.  This is my first post at this site.  I found this thread because I did a search for Exploiter bass.  What I was hoping to find was information where I can buy a hard shell case for this beauty.  I spent quite a bit of time looking through the Alembic web site but I was unable to find anything.  
 
If you know where I can buy a case for my bass, please let me know.  Thanks.
 
 
 
By the way, I love the tone of this guitar.

Call Alembic.  I'm sure they can fix you up.

Hi John, welcome to the board!  Nice Exploiter!
 
Like Bill said, give Alembic a call.  Call during phone answering hours, which I think is something like 10 to 4 pacific.
