Harold you have to come to the next formal Alembic gathering it just wouldn't be the same without you. We'll have to have some sort of right of passage ceremony where you relinqush your throne, swear in the new grand coordinator and give that person the sacred scrolls containing the tollhouse recipe. A 21 Alembic salute will follow after you walk under a gauntlet of crossed Alembic necks. To be greeted by that special someone who will put a Moody Alembic Strap around your neck like you where getting off the plane in Hawaii or something. BTW,bring some cookies with you(and see me before the ceremony).

For the Phil Jones Bass Event I made arrangements for a block of rooms at the closest hotel in the area.The Holiday Inn
1US Highway 46 West
Totowa,New Jersey,07512
(973)785-9000
If you mention you'd like to book a room under Phil Jones Bass. The hotel will give you the room for $99+tax They will also give you a free shuttle to the event.(All this without William Shatner's help!)You can ask for the General Manager, Mohan Maalepalli or the Director of Sales, Joseph Mazzo at ext# 620. There is a Guitar Center Directly across from the Hotel parking lot if you need strings or batteries etc. The hotel and Guitar Center are at the top of the hill,Backstage rehearsal studios is at the bottom of the hill approximately two minutes away. There's a good chance I'll be at the hotel that Friday night so if any body is coming in on Friday and they want to meet up please let me know. If anybody needs a ride from the airport any kind of help etc.let me know. We want everybody to have a great musical experience. We want everyone to be comfortable so they can play their best through some of the best bass equipment available. There will be food, refreshments and some giveaways. By Thursday or Friday of this week you can go directly to the Phil Jones Bass site and print out your invite to the event. Invitations presented at the door get the give aways c'mon you know how this works. Even if you can't come this time, go to the site and print one out they're suitable for framing ha!
Bring your ears,because your going to hear more string information than ever before. Bring your basses,so you can hear and make the difference. Bring your money, because there is going to be some very reasonable deals at the end of the show.Since the show is from 12noon to 6pm and we are expecting a good number of people, it might be reasonable for me to suggest going online to Phil Jones Bass site and look over the products you have interest in this way we all get more playing time in. For those of you just reading this... bring those Alembics! You will have a chance to show others what truly remarkable instruments we possess.

Let me get this straight... the New Jersey Gathering in March is on March 62nd? LOL!!! I'd love to attend one of these things sometime, but I would need to make my appearence after refreshments had been served. My playing is best experienced in an altered state...

bkbass · « **Reply #38 on:** April 15, 2010, 04:59:01 AM »

I've learned that there will be collection of: Bass Cubs, Brief Case, Suit Case, Flight Case, Super Flight Case,and Road Case Combos. 4B Neo,6B Neo,12B Neo(x2)Cabinets. 6T/9B Piranha and the awesome 24B Piranha Cabinet. Bass Buddy, 150watt,300 watt and 500 watt amp heads. Also Phil's Bass pre amp and a 4000 watt poweramp all of which fits in 2 rack spaces. Personally, I can't wait to hear what an Alembic bass through 4000 watts pushing 24 Piranha speakers sounds like. I'm sure it will be life altering. Naturally everything gets connected using Phil's state of the art cables. This has got to be the most product line in one place at one time. Let's hope the building holds together! Bring your bass playing friends,and bring those Alembics! Hope to see all of you on May 1st.

4000 Watts ? very interesting !
When ever I hear high power claims the first thing that I think is ; how is that measured. In other words 4000 Watts RMS @ 8 ohms or

? and at what distortion rating ? 24 speakers , are 32 ohms per speaker or ? I wonder if they are all wired in parallel . I am interested how the power output of the amplifier is coupled to the load ( transformer or directly coupled) and how low the impedance can safely be set at.
I just woke up this morning but I already have lots of questions ! Good morning Alembic folks !

Sonicus, come to the gathering or go on line to Phil Jones Bass. I hear you on those types of questions. They still roll around in the back of my head as well. At some point several years ago, after many years of getting those questions answered, I just sort of relaxed and started listening to the end result. It's only after I hear or don't hear what it is I'm after,I then ask the price, then I may ask those kind of questions. I'm not a paid endorser,or a salesman, nor do I gain anything from my efforts at this event except to enjoy some of the best bass gear out there and get to hang with some truly gifted people. Phil Jones Bass gear regardless of price or spec really sounds amazing. Oh yeah... and if you decide to come, bring your Alembic with you.

sonicus · « **Reply #41 on:** April 16, 2010, 07:00:20 PM »

Thanks for the invitation but I am here in California and will not be able to make it. I am not critical or question the specs , I know that with todays technology it can be done, I recently met a Bass player that sold me an Alembic F-1X and his F-2B that is a Phil Jones suit case user and he is very happy with it. He has a gig in the Casino circuit in California and is also doing lots of studio work.

My statements are inspired by my inquisitive mind and my need to know what makes it tick because I have always have been and still am a geek when it come to sound equipment.

Hey Barry,

I didn't see anything on the PJB site to print~ just a link to Mike's e-mail.

Is there going to be a cub guitar amp there (ie~ should I bring a regular six string too)?!?

bkbass · « **Reply #43 on:** April 19, 2010, 01:06:49 PM »

No Pace, no Guitar gear this time out sorry. I did ask. I lent my bass cub to a jazz guitarist friend of mine and he's enjoying it so much he intends to purchase one to use with his jazz boxes. I should think the guitar cub with the appropriate voiced preamp and different porting etc. would make for a very accurate sounding guitar rig. Perhaps you'll hear enough in the bass cub to make a more informed decision. I look forward to seeing and hearing you.

I have a cub I use for acoustic. It rocks!
