Paul Clifton Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I just bought a lovely Alembic from a fella in New Jersey, and am hoping to get back into playing now. The beast has such high output I have had to turn down all the trim pots in the control cavity to stop the amp clipping at lowest gain! Lovely tone - came with 40-100 flatwounds, but have switched to 35-90 roundwounds until I can get some proper 30-90 banjo strings on Very happy with it so far.

louisthebass Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Welcome to the club! I lived in the London Borough of Sutton (Hackbridge & Carshalton) for 34 years before I moved to Berkshire. Know that part of the world very well! Played in a few local bands between 1986 & 1991 in the area too! Cheers, louisthebass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Nice bass I just sold one very similar that went to Israel. Might need to give it a bit of time to settle in to our climate (especially if you're changing string gauges). Some Alembics can be quite sensitive to changing climates and seasons.
