ialma Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hello everyone. Got this amazing Alembic Essence 5 in a trade It's 99% mint, (1 mm ding on headstock, scratch on PU and a bit of paint gone on the corners of the neck pickup routing) so clean that I'm even scared to take it out for home practice. Since I don't want it to become a case queen I am considering a trade. Amazing sound is the most important part. Deep notes, this bass rings like a bell and the filter turns this bass from a dub monster to a slap machine. This one has a rare purpleheart top. Looks like it's not available anymore on the Alembic builder. Mother of pearl inlays, three stripes purpleheart neck. Front amber leds. Weight is 10,7 lbs (4,8 kgs). So beautiful that's on the Alembic website : [url="http://www.alembic.com/info/woodsamples.html"]http://www.alembic.c...oodsamples.html[/url] Click on purpleheart.
