RARE Fernandes Alembic Series One Copy.

[MB1]

MB1.
Just spotted this under Fernandes (sorry cant seem to post link)
It's not mine and I have nothing to do with the sale (although I did briefly own one)
You'll not see many of these about !
Fernandes Alembic Series one copy.
Nice to see something on EBay that is actually quite Rare for a change.
These were a very limited run.(due to the obvious) even has the seperate power supply.
Price is a little optomistic perhaps but Rarity dictates!

Yes that's it
Pricey? Yes I agree! (Will probably be relisted)
But I think he's using the "Try finding another one?"Ploy.
First one Ive seen surface in many years!

I have never had the opportunity to play a Series Alembic but to my ears from live and studio albums it nails the sound.The electronics are the same with 2 Q filters etc.The action is as low as the pole in a flees limbo competition! All the brass wear is the same even down to the big brass block under the bridge. It would be nice if there was some BCer local to me with an Alembic I could compare.Would be an Interesting topic really! I do have a set of AXY Alembic pick ups which I tried in it but they dont sound as hi fi as the stock ones,mind you axy's are humbuckers I think.
