Hey guys,

Finally got a new Series II video up! I'm playing Rush's tune 'Red Barchetta'!

Hope you like it!

Great vid - lovely playing and that bass is a thing of beauty.

It's a good tune too with a great line.

If I can be a little pedantic here, the sound of an Alembic is in that growly low-impedance sound with tone woods. So your crunch tone, whilst reproducing Geddy's gritty sound nicely masks the Alembic ringing purity...

I guess it depends on the purpose of your vid! But glad that you did it...

Hi George here is my addition to your thread. It's with my Alembic series II 5 stringer playing What is Hip? at a gig at the end of 2015.

Neither of them are series I or II instruments.

No need to be, I am a certified Alembic nerd and proud of it. :-)

That link isn't a series bass either, nor are any of the ones on display in that video. Whilst the body looks the same as a series bass they are generally categorised by the electronics in the bass but that may not always be the case on a custom build.

The one in that video i posted is a series II which is basically the same shape as the one you linked to. But the body is wider to hold the series innards and has a 5 pin plug for the external power supply which comes standard with series basses and has true single coil pickups and a third pickup which is for the noise cancelling system. Hope that helps.
