Hi everybody.
Sorry I was out this board for sometimes.
You can hear the 3 strings slide Alembic on sound cloud. Search for SUPERLOW, I've put 5 songs. Maybe I'm coming back home is the more into it. Hope someone will read this post!!!!!!

I listened to your Soundcloud tracks and the slide bass you play sounds so unique! Great tone with the higher frequencies ringing a pleasant melodic line that suits the whole song incredibly. Excellent material and its good to hear a different way of playing the bass.

Well, thank you!! Mark Sandman from Morphine did it first, but I really like the sound it does. With the Alembics, the range of usable tones are amazing. I've try with other basses, but never find the magic back. Superlow is a bass project built on Alembic's instrument. That's how I breathe!!!

Your bass is soo beautiful. I love Bird's-eye Maple, and this is a very lovely example. You bass shares its birthday with me.

Sorry, I pulled the wrong records for your other bass, so that will have to wait until Monday.
