Alembic MK signature with custom body shape

The bass player’s function, along with the drums, is to be the engine that drives the car… everything else is merely colours.

It's Featured Custom week, I guess - http://www.alembic.com/info/FC_spen.html


The body is a variation on the Balance Point shape, which came before the Balance-K shape. This was the first attempt at improving the balance on a longer scale 5 or 6 string bass, staying close to the classic Alembic shape. Rumour has it it's a rather large body.


Looks to be in pretty excellent condition.

Yes indeed. Very large. For perspective, here she is in between two of my other basses.

I just finished making this recording using only The Alembic Custom 5 string mentioned in this thread. All tracks were recorded with the Bass except for the drums of course.

Would consider trading this bass for a Series II bass
.
Other trades would also be considered.
