SOLD

 

Oh, sweet irony! I finally achieved my dream of owning an Alembic a few months ago, played 4 or 5 gigs with it, and suddenly discovered that I really need was a six string bass. Now I have two of them, and bills to pay, so the lovely Alembic has to go.

It's a 1998 Epic four string, and the Alembic build sheet for it says:

top: California Walnut 
accent: Maple 
body: Mahogany 
neck: 3-piece Maple with 2 Walnut pinstripes 
fingerboard: Ebony 
pickups: MXY 
controls: Epic volume, pan, bass, treble, mono output 
originally made for: Guitar Center, Santa Ana, CA 
birthday: June 26, 1998 

The bass is well set up and plays as you'd expect an instrument of this class to play - if I ever switch back to 4 string, I'm going to hate myself for letting this go, but needs must.

No case included. so it will need collecting (West Oxfordshire) or a meet up. I will be in South Devon the weekend of the 8th/9th December and in the Wirral 15th/16th December and can bring the bass with me if there is a buyer there.

I never understood why Alembic only use two screws per pickup. The first time I played one I thought I had lost the other two! 

 

These play and sound great. GLWTS! :heart:

I thought it odd at first, but it is a very stable and secure system, one screw adjusts the height and the other locks it in place.

Gawd, if the 74P had gone by now I'd possibly be tapping you up for this - I'm after fretless, but this would be a fretted that I would consider!!! Lovely. 

I don't expect it to go too quickly, so you might be in luck.
