A rogue 4. After getting my first Alembic over the summer, (a 77 series 1 guitar), I knew I had to add an Alembic bass to my arsenal as well. At $1999 I thought it was a steal. I have absolutely fallen in love with the electronics, and I feel like I can swim in the top! Let me know what you guys think. 3rd_ray Intermediate Member Username: 3rd_ray Post Number: 134 Registered: 2-2008 Posted on Wednesday, November 26, 2008 - 6:15 pm:    Good deal for $1999! I like that walnut top. I have the same electronics on my Essence and I like what you can do with it. Congrats!

I forgot to mention that it was Mike who emailed me in response to one of my posts, and informed me about the Rogue for sale at a guitar center in texas. I love the Alembic community, and how they look out for one another. If it wasnt for groovelines, I wouldnt be the proud owner of my new Rogue. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 7215 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, November 28, 2008 - 5:42 pm:    That's a great top!

I love the Rogue's body shape and I'm always amazed by Alembic's eletronics. In Rogue they're simple and very efficient, I get almost any Tone I may want just changing the PUs balance (with some help of the Low Pass Filter if needed). Usually I just slightly turn the balance pot to front or bridge PU to get the right amount of low or high mid I need. Alembic's Tones are always lively and usefull, love that bass... Congratulations for the purchase. white_cloud Senior Member Username: white_cloud Post Number: 521 Registered: 11-2007 Posted on Thursday, December 04, 2008 - 5:57 am:    Beautiful bass at what would be considered in the UK a low low price! Well done! juggernaught Advanced Member Username: juggernaught Post Number: 247 Registered: 3-2007 Posted on Thursday, December 04, 2008 - 6:57 am:    (woopsie!)
