This is just awesome. I totally love Rogues (but only as 5 or 6-strings - the shape looks much better with a wider neck). Should you ponder upon selling it one day you know where to find me... ;-) (Not today though - rather next year or a bit later)

Mmm... is there anything wrong with that lovely Rogue? I've counted, judging by the posts, 4 owners already in only 3 and a half years...

I own, of my 12 basses, only one Alembic so far (lovely Epic 96 5er), and up to now I think it will have to be pried out from my stiff, cold dead hands...

Shure there is something wrong...

It is not mine!

I know two of the past owners sold it to help fund killer customs and the last owner bought a saawingin' series 2.

I'm one of the former owners. I bought if from club member Charles when he built his killer custom series II. I sold it to Loch to fund the build of my custom Elan and I know Loch sold it when he bought his series II.

This bass is awesome! The signature electronics + the quick change bass and treble switches is a GREAT setup. This is a super versatile bass and a fantastic playing and sounding guitar.

This Rogue is my 49th bass and first Alembic,and i am very pleased with it,the B string is excellent,the balance is great,the neck profile is spot on for me,and it has the full rich sound i was looking for.
I found the electronics quite easy to get on with,after the initial doubt...oh yes,and finally great workmanship.
I like to have 3 basses,and an Alembic will definately be in the stable.

There it is. Farufyno and I have found what's wrong with this bass, in both cases is the same thing.

Thanks for your comments guys,i just cant stop playing this bass at every opportunity at the moment!

Congrats, have have an absolutely AWESOME bass!!!

As Toby said, the ONLY reason I got rid of it was because I was able to acquire a Series II 5 string. And while I love the sound of my Series II, I will have to admit that this bass feels a lot faster and is much lighter. I could play it for hours...

If I had unlimited resources, I would NEVER have sold it! There's just something about your first Alembic...

Hi,I have just noticed the B string tuner is different from the rest,have any previous owners noticed this.I see it was on the bass in 2006 as seen on crgaston pic of the headstock,so i am intrigued,i assume it has been changed along the way for some reason,...now i know its wrong it really annoys me...Ady

poor_nigel · « **Reply #44 on:** February 20, 2010, 11:27:50 AM »

The B string tuner looks like the new style Gotoh ones, while the rest look like the old style. The new style look more like classic Schallers keys, which I like much better than Gotoh's old style keys. It'll cost ya four new ones or one old one to get a matched set.

I see the brass is finally polished. The bass seems to have found its rightful owner. Nice bass, enjoy!
