I think it's worth mentioning that Mark has had signature models but not with all of the brands you mention and in a different way to some... Jaydee (Playing them before it became a signature model) Alembic (Same deal, and his basses were totally different to the signature models and sound totally different too) Status (The Kingbass was designed by him and Rob after working together for YEARS) Pangborn (Never a signature model) GB (Never a sig) Fender (Very limited run) Trace Elliot (No signature model products, unless you count the strings that were produced for a little while) Ashdown (Signature product but basically an old Trace head with some bits stripped out) TC (Unless you are counting signature toneprints haha, no products) Markbass (No signature product)

Interesting observation, my only counter to this is that still sell well new and a demand is there from a certain type of customer -

We are also as reasonable as we can be with our prices, for example a pre-owned Series 1 in stock at £5500.00... -
Poly on all these basses, looks absolutely stunning in person

17.5mm string spacing on these Hadrien Feraud Burners

Whatever works best for you at the end of the day, there is no right or wrong.

It is currently being edited, hang fire for a while and keep check on our social media accounts and Youtube

A true single coil pickup will always sound more 'open' and 'natural', than a dual coil that has been split in half
-
But it will never sound like a true single coil due to magnetism
-
Well no, they are completely different, not better or worse
-
Just a heads up, we have filmed a short video on the 5 Burners we have in today, keep your eyes peeled
-
Biased opinion here potentially, being as we sell these AND we are big fans of Hadrien's playing. Massive fans of these basses, they are beautifully made with some of the best setups I have ever played. The necks are thinner in dimensions in terms of the back to front measurement, pretty lightweight and versatile enough tonally

Hi - I have only ever felt neck dive on the small body basses, I personally have a Series II in 32" which is balanced, but very heavy (even with the chambered body) It was me (Marcus), who spoke to Alembic and got them in, I have been passionate about this brand for as long as I can remember, so I am extremely excited about this Have a great day -

They are amazing basses, the build quality is just off the charts and the range of tones from one bass is pretty much unmatched (to me, we are all different of course) I can't wait to be displaying these basses here, I dreamt of owning an Alembic for years as a kid, and had one myself for a few years, which is just dreamy! Hope to share some Alembic love with all the UK guys! Cheers for the comments
