I read about them and it sounds interesting. I can't remember anyone trying this before. I'm not even sure if it's a good idea, but they are [SOLD OUT] of every set. Somebody must like them.

Last post by edwardofhuncote - Yesterday at 02:16:28 AMHey there Russell, yes... there is a size limit on pictures. You'll need to resize the big one to less than the max of 1 KB. That's still pretty big.
Go ahead and post your thread, we'll talk you through it.

Last post by DAcat51 - Yesterday at 02:07:30 AMHi fellow Alembic players in the Northwest and all over the world. I am a relative newbie, just got my Alembic Essence around 2019, and because of my age and economics I have decided to sell this absolutely beautiful bass to someone who will use it. So I tried to put it up for sale on the for sale site here , but I am having real problems attaching pics, I keep getting the message that only 1 image is way too large and I have to keep starting over . can anyone lend a hand?? Thanks,
Peace, DAcat51

*Funny name coincidence; I've played for years, decades actually, in a Christmas Band with a Thomas Coburn. The one I know plays guitar and mandolin, lives in Lexington Virginia. It's the only collaboration we ever got to do. I set up a bass for one of his sons maybe 18-20 years ago.

Last post by bigyouth - Yesterday at 01:59:36 AMHello Mr. Jimmy Johnson, I am honored by your comment.
Yes, I am attempting to cover your bass solo—which, in my opinion, is one of the best I've ever heard on "Rio Funk."
I do play with a pick, as I lost four fingers on my left hand in a terrible workplace accident. I was originally right-handed, but I've since switched to playing left-handed. It wasn't easy, but—if I may say so—I've managed to reach an acceptable level again. As for my basses, I also own a "Series" model, but I don't use it because it has a lot of buzz; I primarily play my Alembic SC Standard (I'm a huge Stanley Clarke fan).
Thanks again for your comment—I'm going to try to finish learning this wonderful bass solo.
Take care,
Best regards,
Mehdi

El-Kabong wudda' got more mileage if heeda' used a banjo instead of geetars... 🤣Or different geetars; decades ago I read an interview with Johnny Winter where he allowed as how the playability & tone weren't the only reasons he played Firebirds. He said they were sturdy enough you could use them as weapons when things in the honky-tonks got rough.....
