Hah! I WAS pretty optimistic back then eh? Looking at the current quote generator I think I'd have to sell my house to afford a new series bass now. Are you still thinking along those lines? Just read some of your thread Jacko via the link and you mention there a possible series project in 5 years and I think that is up now. I consider myself lucky as I doubt very much whether Gibson / tobias have such a friendly and informative forum :-) For the price, the only one that came close to the Alembic was a pre-gibson tobias 5 string at a different shop but their credit terms were extortionate. i bought the epic when I decided I'd like to start playing 5 strings and spent at least 4 months trying out every make and model I could get my hands on. The shop was a subsidiary of the London bass centre and has since closed. I bought my 96 epic new early in 1997 from the Bass centre in birmingham when I was working for cadbury's IT dept. One is very heavy.12lbs(UK) but a comfort strapp spreads the load It does everything I want it to.the action is low and is so easy to play and the sound is the great. I only own one.a Mark King Signature Standard retro fitted with SIMS LED's in red It was traded few years ago, but I regret it.Īfterwards, I got my 5 strigers and shorties in last 10 years. (But I love and own Fender and Gibson guitars. I cuddled this bass all through my bass life.īecause, I never want Gibson and Fender basses except my daughter's Fender Japan Mustang bass. I got my first bass "Alembic Distillate Bass" in 1981, and I was a guitarist until then. I regret parting with this one, but I went through a LOT of Alembics back then.

The small standard was serial number 78 1168, and was also a purpleheart top and back instrument. I traded it back to Alembic for a Small Standard. I do not have any pictures at all of this bass as far as I know. Zebrawood veneers on the headstock, ebony board, and shipped with Pyramid Gold flats on it. It was a medium scale, point body, with purpleheart top and back. Then came the response from Alembic :-) and the realization of my 5 string monster Elan :-) :-) :-) To kill the time I bought the fretless Orion, because I was in love with the looks of that bass ever since it was posted on that site (UK Alembic dealer) Then came the time to go custom :-) But no response from Alembic :-( I corrected my mistake asap and got the '83 Spoiler that's currently my favorite bass (she's so lovely)įF some years and I got the Stormburst Elan. Currently trying to decide between an Essence, an Orion, or a Series 1 for my second! Any advice? Must sell some gear first.Ī few years later I got a very beat up '83 Spoiler that I foolishly traded in for a Gibson Ripper. Just got my first one, an '83 Distillate, right before Thanksgiving 2011 from club member Bassthang. Refinished by Alembic about 10 years ago. The very same Distillate I still have today :-)ġ983 Spoiler solid koa body, Sam Ash 48th street NYC.
