I stumbled across this site today because tomorrow, for the first time in 15 years I am un-retiring my 1982 (I think) Spoiler and bringing it down to a band practice. I typed in the word Alembic in my computer and it brought me here.
I am ashamed that it has been so long, but am nevertheless excited to show off this beautiful instrument to my band mates. It may be off-the-rack, but it still sounds and plays better than ever.
All this because I read the John Entwistle tribute in the new Bass Player Magazine and it got me thinking about why I wanted to buy an Alembic in the first place. That tone. It was all I could afford, but I am glad I held onto it all these years.
I may have strayed, but like the prodigal son, I have returned and can't wait for tomorrow night.
Anyway, I figured this would be the place to express such sentiments...
