New Elan Bass
« on: July 30, 2021, 11:32:35 AM »
I just bought this last week from the Low End Bass Shop. It's a 92 Elan. 22 years I had to sell my Spoiler due to finances but I always told myself one day I would buy another Alembic. After selling some gear and saving, I was finally able to make that wish come true. It sounds wonderful when playing direct but when I play through the SF-2, it sounds amazing. I'm really happy to have an Alembic again.

I just LOVE that color.  Congrats!
I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

Yes, That's the one. I finally used it today at rehearsal and everybody loved it. The tone is absolutely incredible.

Elan basses are wonderful as you have discovered.
The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!
