wombatboter Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) I recorded something with my Musician and the difference with the Alembic I used to have was tiny imo... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7863YI5a_4 Edited March 24, 2014 by icastle Link fixed.
olliedf89 Posted September 21, 2013 Author Posted September 21, 2013 Thanks for the comments and the back up on the price, guys. Much appreciated! I do love this bass and I searched long and hard to find a good one at a fair price, but now I'm just not that comfortable using it as my main bass, I feel more comfortable with my cheaper Ibanez, especially in my silly, crappy covers band, and it's not the sound I want for my own material, so it just sit's on the sideline until that 'special' occasion comes along where I feel I can use it. An occasion which has become fairly rare now :-/ The basses I'm mainly looking for now, a P/J Precision and a Grabber even have fairly similar tones at times, but I suppose I feel more comfortable using something less steeped in expectation and less precious. If I was in a position to keep it I would certainly not let it go, and keep it for the right time, but alas, £700 is potentially a second hand cab, a back up bass and a pedal or two, which at the moment is much more useful than a 32 year old unused, albeit fantastic bass! I'm just far from worthy to keep such an instrument! Anyone have Sting's number?
olliedf89 Posted October 29, 2013 Author Posted October 29, 2013 Thought a little break may do the bass some good. Will soon briefly re-list here and on other sites. The price will not move from £700 BUMP
FlatEric Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 [quote name='FlatEric' timestamp='1370638163' post='2103938'] Sweet! [/quote] Still Sweet. Compared to so many other instruments out there (and there are many other great ones, as well) these things just Ooooooozze Quality. It's only when you get the chance to play one, you realise. Good luck with the sale - worth every penny.

Machines Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Keep it. I regret selling mine and will keep my Peavey T-40 for that same reason even though I never play it.

Bass Awkward Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Shall PM about this. Couple of questions re: action and neck.
olliedf89 Posted December 28, 2013 Author Posted December 28, 2013 Bass now on hold, considering withdrawing. I'm beginning to hear the words of the other Musician owners telling me to keep it!
silverfoxnik Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 Very wise move Ollie.. It's a beautiful example of a classic bass. Hope all's well with you and you had a good Xmas? Nik
olliedf89 Posted December 28, 2013 Author Posted December 28, 2013 Yes thanks Nik! Good to hear from you, I'll PM you, save keep bumping up this thread now it's not a priority!
