Johngh Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I had one exactly the same as this, also bought from the Bass Centre in Birmingham in 1998, it wouldn't surprise me if this one is from the same batch as mine. Brilliant bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant bass. [/quote] Cool! I wonder if it was from the same batch? Took me about seven hours in the shop trying nearly every bass they had.............. still keep coming back to the Alembic!!!! Always wanted one from when I saw Greg Lakes Alembic in a repair shop in Ringwood in for a re-fret when I was at school! Mega beast it was too! Where the serial number plate is on this one, on his it read 'Presented to Greg Lake from Alembic' ............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the switch is off you get a flat response up to the filter setting. “the Q affects mainly the attack portion of the note”.............(sourced from another Bass site....

Paul Clifton Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 You put the price UP?
