Author Topic: Looking for an Alembic (Read 172 times)

I had a 5-string 36 Rogue and it was beautiful..but too much bass for my short frame. I sold it here at the Alembic forum. So I'm looking for a medium scale bass (spoiler or persuader) to get that same feel...just can't get it with a Pbass or Rick. Let me know if you have one to part with or know of another avenue.
Thanks,
Wayne

Hello, i am a new guy here ..... just bought my first Alembic.... An Orion zebra striped model...I LOVE IT!!! I will be looking at others to buy in the near future i am SURE
Iwas wondering if anyone knew of the best place in the USA for selection and fair pricing?
I may be interested in another Orion in a different finish? Please advise when ya have time to reply, Thanks.

Hi Dan, welcome to the board! And congrats on the Orion! What you might want to do is custom order an Orion just the way you want it. If the guys notice your post here, I imagine some of them will chime in with their favorite vendors.

thanks dave for your help... well it may take a few months to save up the $3,500.00 to have an orion ordered.... i was just talking with a place in seatle.... they said approx. $3,500.00 order only.... with a wait time of like 3-4 months?

? WOW!!!! that is some SERIOUS anticipation to go through , huh? LOL!!!

I received my new 1986 Persuader this week and it plays great!!! Thanks, Jeff...I've never played TI's before (probably will put them on my G&L)

I play my Persuader through an Ashdown 300 watt head and a 4-10 cab. The only effect I use is a Boss Bass Chorus. I'm a weekend warrior (3-4 weekends per month) on lower shore of DE/MD/VA. My new bass should turn alot of heads...not many Alembics around here.

Hi Wayne,

I'm so happy that you found an Alembic that fit.

Your old five string is in very appreciative hands...

Enjoy,

Hollis
