Alembic sighting
« on: January 11, 2020, 10:58:17 AM »
Was watching the Beck's Bolero video and at 2:30 it looks like JP Jones holding an Alembic series. I'd never known him to play one and thought it interesting enough. Maybe Mica knows if he ever had contact/ordered? if that's not confidential info...

John Paul Jones is well known for playing Alembics.  If you search the forum, you’ll find he has been discussed numerous times.  One of his basses is an amazing eight string triple omega - looks like a Medieval battle axe!

Bill, tgo

And to think I'd never seen a pic of him with one before.  Wow I Must live in a cave. :(

Found this thread from a long time ago:

I believe he played an 8-string on Achilles' Last Stand, for example.
