New Alembic owner x 2

[drog1602]

I have wanted an Alembic bass ever since I had seen those Stanley Clarke magazine advertising in the 80’s.
You never see them where I live and until now I had never been in a position to afford one. But as luck would have it I came across two used Alembics in a local music store. I jumped at the chance to own them... to say I am over the moon with these basses would be an understatement.

One is an ‘99 Alembic Orion , the other one is a ‘12 Mark King Standard 5

Dreams do come true...

Nice.
Welcome to the camp Gordon.  I think you will be very happy.

Welcome to what is arguably the most friendly, supportive site on the net. I love the Mark King. Play them in good health.

A strategic move to start with two... but make sure you keep some room for the others you wil inevitable acquire in the future.

Welcome to the club!

Ha ha, yes they are very addictive. I have already been looking 🤤

I got my Epic the same way. Walked into my local music store to by strings. It was hanging on the wall with a sign ‘This Week’s Special $1000’. Couldn’t get to the bank fast enough.
