This is my first Alembic. I have been playing it every free moment since it arrived last week, but I managed to stop long enough to clean it up a bit and post some pics. It is the best all around sounding bass I have played (4001, Status S2, Jaydee MK), although the others, have thier awesome unique sounds too. I particullarly enjoy playing the Jaydee, upon which I have a very light gauge string. The medium scale suits me and I will soon change to a slightly lighter gauge string. The tones are amazing. The bass is a dream to play. I now know first hand there is no better way to sound great than playing an Alembic. I am using a Markbass 121P. I now wonder what other Alembic electronics and neck configurations sound like. How would an Essence, Epic, Rogue or Series bass compare? How about Charlie's Distillate with Series electronics? Fantastic I am sure. Anyway, I hope you enjoy these pics. Colin
