I recently got my first new Alembic, and I finally got a chance to test it out at a gig on a Friday night. It's a custom build (not ordered by me) with EVH body shape, East Meets West electronics, and a walnut top. I love this bass!
The store where I bought it set it up with Ken Smith Slap Master strings, sized 35- 95. I use TI Flats on all my Alembics, but I like the feel of these strings. I will probably leave them on until they wear out.
The sound and feel of my new bass is perfect! I noticed that my neck, shoulders, and back were pain-free at the end of the night, which is usually not the case! Definitely have a keeper here!
I don't have any good pictures to share yet. It's been cold and grey here for the last few days, and now it's starting to snow. Whenever I try to post pics, I always get the file too big message. Could someone resize and post a few pics for me?
Anyway, just wanted to share my joy with my Alembic family! Hope to share some pics and maybe a family portrait of my Alembics soon.
