Hey Folks,
Great to see there are so many Alembic enthusiasts. I?ve been playing bass for 27 years now, and I have been fortunate enough to have owned/played Alembic for the last 11 years. I was able to purchase my first Alembic (used Spoiler) in 91? after graduating from college and getting a real job. I owned a Stanley Clark signature for a while also, but sold both my 4-string basses in the early nineties. Now getting to the good part, my first major love (with the exception of my wife of course) was when I played my 92? Europa fretted 6-string (see picture). This was, and is, the most satisfying fretted bass playing experience in my life. After this major find, I soon (94?) ordered my first, and only, semi-custom Alembic (see picture). I ordered a fretless 6-string Europa. I elected to go with a see through Smokey black with a flame maple top underneath. I had to have the awesome custom tailpiece as well. I had maple inlays put in for the fret markers (I?m not that good), and of course, I had to go with LED markers for 3rd, 5th, 7th, etc., etc. (very cool when the stage goes black). So here are my pics, have a look and tell me what you think. I haven?t purchased, or wanted to purchase another bass since, no need, I?m set.
Thanks,
Earl
Whoops, I need to keep the pics under 150K, I'll post 'em later.
