(x) Alembic Essence 95K9191
« on: May 29, 2020, 01:35:41 PM »
Hello everyone,

Since today, I am the new owner of a 1995 Alembic Essence bass. The serial number of the bass is: 95K9191
According to the previous owner, the color is called "Emerald Green".
Here are some pictures of my bass:






I am a french bass player and I bought the bass several days ago on Reverb. The previous owner lives in Portugal. Thanks for giving Alembic owners information about the history of our instruments. It is very interesting to know this.

Best regards

Hi Raphel

Welcome to the club and congratulations on your new bass! I had seen a pretty blue Essence bass previously but not an Emerald Green one. Enjoy getting to know your new bass... Alembics are addictive and hard to put down.

Thank you! Several years ago, I had a 1998 Alembic Epic but I had to sell it. After that, I always tought I would buy an other Alembic one day, maybe a 32" Spoiler. Finally, I found this Essence at a good price.
