My new Alembic
« on: July 11, 2019, 08:53:03 AM »
So I finally got the 5 string Alembic into my arsenal! It arrived today, and have to say fits perfectly next to my old Series 1.
I can't bevieve that I manage to find that one that I wanted and that I have another Alembic!

Really the best basses in the world. Btw. is there any other Balance K body in Europe? Just wondering.

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

NIce score... enjoy your newest Alembic!

Station Music, in Germany, always seems to have a few nice Series Balance K instruments for sale.

Hey everybody, Goran has officially been bitten by the Alembic bug! 

That's another fine looking bass there.  When will you be opening your bass museum?  (I'm just teasing!)

Apart from Station Music  of course there are. Like the one in my avatar. Are you thinking continental Europe only, or can Brits feel included too?

.. ooh, and congrats on the new bass!

There are quite a few over  here in the UK. For certain I know the bass player in the big band I used to play guitar in bought one after trying out a few of my alembics. He got it from Pierre-Yves, Jacko has a 5 stringer and Geepee has a series II and a signature.

JJ, you are correct though how much of a good thing, is a too much of a good thing and when does too much of a good thing become a bad thing.  :o

One Alembic bass is a good start...

A second Alembic is a portent of things to come!
