Series I or II six string bass

[mario_farufyno]

That is part of the joy playing Alembics. Even balancing PUs or changing plucking hand position can change the game in a way other basses can't dream. So revealing, so true and transparent. Addictive. I can take other bass to the gigs, but just if asked... hard.

The Epics and Orions get you in the ball park. You can buy one used, and if you like it then rest assured a Signature will only be more awesomeness, and a Series pure bliss.

I’m searching and searching for a used Series I or II or even mark king standard or deluxe used/preowned 6 string bass to pop up for sale, is it ever going to happen? How many has Alembic ever even built?

Should I just roll with the 6 string Orion or Epics that I’m finding online for sale? I know the electronics are night and day difference but for a Modulus 6 string player gigging a couple times a week (Grateful Dead Music), is it going to make a difference in tone? I’m also thinking of just picking up an sf-2 to help with tone. But my dream is a 6 string series II. This is all coming from a guy that has never even picked up an Alembic before.

I have this up for sale right now. Perhaps it might be of interest? https://reverb.com/item/23422860-2018-alembic-wave-6-string-bass-immaculate-unique-many-custom-upgrades
