(x) 91K6450 Essence 4
« on: June 22, 2021, 10:39:15 AM »
Dear people at Alembic!  With my last year's purchase of this very nice Essence 4 91K6450 I could call myself a member of the Alembic family.  I bought this bass from a dealer who had stopped activities and decided to sell off his inventory. Supposedly the bass had been in the shop since long.  Although in splendid condition, I am curious to know more about it's history: has it had any previously registered owners, what date is was made, etc..  Hoping you can help me out with this.  Meanwhile I recently bought a splendid Rogue5 from 2000. Really in love with your magnificent works of bass art! Congrats!

Congrats! Brother to my 91' K6383. It is truly a piece of fine work, especially the electronics.  8)

Welcome to the family!
Not just a bass, this is an Alembic!

Here's what I learned from the instrument file:

top: Flame Maple
accent: Walnut pinstripe
body: Maple
neck: 3-piece Maple
scale: 34" long
fingerboard: Ebony
pickups: MXY4
electronics: volume, pan, filter, mono output
originally made for: Select Guitars, CT
birthday: April 4, 1991

There are no previous registered owners, so I'm not sure when the bass made its was to Belgium.
