Series 1 1980
« on: February 21, 2018, 01:08:54 PM »
Hey everybody, here is my first Alembic. Finally made it to the club :)

It's Series 1, omega shape, long scale, just bought it a week ago...

Loving it, they are different animals from all other basses I've had...

So happy

I already 'liked' it on TalkBass, but I'm still at a loss for words... the folks here will tell ya', I'm a total wash-out for Omega-cut Alembics.  8)

Congratulations & Compliments!

Excellent choice for your first Alembic. It could take you a while to tame that bass.
The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

Yes it's a bubinga, mahogany body, love how it sounds...

Btw, do you guys know which d-tuner can I use on it?

Beautiful bass. And by starting with a Series bass you'll reduce the need to keep upgrading until you eventually get to the place (a Series bass) where many of us ended up after purchasing multiple Alembics. Enjoy!

Just to let you know that d-tuner is on, no drilling, everything fits perfectly...
