ubit Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Listening to this after watching "The Take" on Netflix. Really enjoyed the movie and at the end I was thinking that sounds like Idris Elbas voice. I looked it up and it grows on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some excellent Steve Swallow action and a majestic version of Reactionary Tango. And some proper big band funk to finish with! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first started playing this was on TOP or OGWT to me at the time Greg was the epitome of "a bass player" I wanted the doggy pilot jacket the 8 string Alembic & everything (I think I thought I could sing like Greg then too!!!) Fortunately for me when I could afford the Flying Jacket I got a classic like Keith's -- And I have never seen a real Alembic 8 let alone tried one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have never seen a real Alembic 8 let alone tried one Like most 8 and 12 strings, they're very much a one trick pony and really suit power trios otherwise they just compete with too many other instruments. The serial on Greg's bass was 791300 and mine is 791309. Given they both have graphite necks, they're practically sisters. Alembic sold quite a few of them to Canada as the necks could cope with the sub zero to room temperature fluctuations a lot better than wooden necks at the time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
