    Dear All, I have decided to sell my Alembic Mark King, I have to say she is the best bass i have ever owned and would not be parting company if it was not for my bad back, i just need something lighter. She is the 34" scale and has a Californian book matched front which is very distinctive. I have owned her since new (17 years) and there really is not a mark on the bass. Comes with the original hard case, I will be sad to see her go but its not fair for an instrument of this quality to only be used at home (I used to play her live as my main bass for 15 years).

    On Ebay at the moment, someone grab it quick. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Washburn-Status-Series-1000-Headless-Bass-/162041216256?hash=item25ba68bd00:g:3PIAAOSwKfVXE6is

    I have a 1990 Dolphin pro 1 4 string in gloss black, I love it they are so cool and the neck profiles are just spot on, so much better in my opinion than the Warwick modern necks. In your picture you could do with a couple more knobs on the bass to the left by the way, maybe stacked as well :-) Should not be here long. Regards Rob

    Sorry to see you have not moved this on yet, I'm still having the same trouble with my Alembic Mark King. It would seem that if its not below £500 and shaped like a fender people just are not that interested. There is a reason these basses cost more, just look at them. That said these days it would seem if its fender shaped and looks like it has been thrown down the stairs people will pay more than £500. Rant over

    Looks like a bargain to me, I need frets so not for me. Good luck with the sale.

    Also I think the connections will be fine, the PSU by the way was plugged in for 4 hrs at band practice the other day and was not even warm. The led's draw so little amps.

    Well I too was concerned about the power, however I did not want to drill into the cabs in any way, the lead therefore from the top cab comes out the bottom corner and rests on the lower edge of the cab little black tape to keep in place, the bottom cab it comes out at the top, this way you can power them and just tuck the lead in the gap between the two cabs with the TC rough covering it just stays there. It is easier and more out of the way than say a power supply for your pedals, you just need to plan the routing. If you are willing to drill our cab then you could drill a hole to thread the cables through to the back of the cab and then fit a female DC surface mount to the back and plug in that way but I did not want to change or damage my cabs. The way I have done mine you could remove and never know they had been there.

    The flashing light sound modual can be done but did not want to be too flashy!!!

    They are LED strip that you can buy on eBay, it comes in a 5m roll, you just cut it to length. So I cut 4 sections one for each side and then soldered them together to form a rectangle (x2 one for each cab) plug in a 12v power supply and done, the strip comes with a tape backing that you just peel off and stick on. To do both cabs I needed: 1: 5m of led strip (colour changing available too but I wanted blue). 2: 12 v power supply (mine came in the kit) 3: some small but if wire to solder and join at the corners. 4: soldering iron and solder. 5: female dc adaptor for the second cab as strip has just one fitted when it comes. 6: 2 male to 1 female dc converter to power the two cabs from one supply. All this including the soldering iron came to around £19. Remove the grills and stick on the back facing inwards if you use the led tape beginning with the 3 it hides along the edge and you cannot see it from the front at all. Hope that helps Rob

    That is a lot of Bass for the money and killer looks. I love the thought of the MM but i have owned one and for me we just did not click. That said they are a great bass and if i did not already have too many i would have kept it in the collection. Good luck with your sale.
  17. big rob

    I have a 4 string Empathy and love it to bits, great basses and no truss rod to mess about with. Good luck with your sale.
  20. big rob
    God i want this but just cannot justify another bass, i am sure it will be gone by the end of play today, good luck.
  21. big rob
    Glad these are 5 strings otherwise my wife would be removing my gonads for buying another bass. Will stick with my Status Empathy 4 with the same wood top. Good luck with your sale.
