It sure is a beauty. I have a weakness for élan basses. That dark top with the light edging of maple showing looks very spectacular. How are you finding the brightness of the tone? Jazzyvee fahrwestbass Junior Username: fahrwestbass Post Number: 36 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Monday, July 30, 2012 - 5:05 pm:    It is bright, but it's full. I just added a 15" extension cabinet to my amp set up for a little more low end punch. I've always played with a bit of a trebly edge so it works for me. The filter always seems to end up wide open with the bass boost on, treble boost off but not cut... I've found my sound. serialnumber12 Senior Member Username: serialnumber12 Post Number: 986 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Thursday, August 02, 2012 - 9:58 pm:    jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3074 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, August 02, 2012 - 10:44 pm:    Taken yesterday.

Mild hijack under the guise of catching up. ;) Delano, long story over many years with my 'slap technique'. Honestly the simple mechanics of having the 'primary slap strings' being B,E,A on the bottom in itself requires reaching over the top of the D,G,C strings to reach them. At the same time from having my thumb on the top of my left hand (and missing half of it from the joint out) and my picking fingers on the bottom, (I hope that makes sense). This required me to develop a 'quasi' slap method that had me 'flailing around' for many years trying to emulate slap bass. And it's still a work in process, as is my music overall, but it's starting to work finally! True slap? Naaahhh...not even close. Effective for what I do? Works for me for now til I learn something else. Christian, Peter, Paul, glad you guys like! I appreciate the compliments! Dave, thanks for the 'tech support'! Yep, I'm still using my RC-50 looper. The pedal board has changed some. New format with road cases. Signal chain starts going into a splitter, which one line goes direct to the mixer, one goes to a ME-50B. Stereo out, going to an Eventide PitchFactor. Stereo out going to an Adrenalinn III. Stereo out going to the looper. Of course this signal path arrangement does have a tendency to change and I'll end up with cables going all over everywhere with way too many line signals running around. Then I'll start all over again. :D Guess that's it so, back to the regularly scheduled programming. ;) Thanks Guys!

I'm a closet Exploiter bass fan but i think it would have too much stage presence for the jazz funk type of gigs I do but I guess it would be kind of cool in a reggae band. :-) Anyone got a picture of a Dragon's wing bass in a gig situation?

I was just diagnosed with arthritis in my hips. A perfect complement to being a new parent. Still, it beats the alternative. I'm loving all these shots. Some basses I've never seen and some old friends. I'm also loving the fact that Alembic instruments travel from honky tonks to the most upscale of establishments. Slawie, what's the serial number on that straight bar bridged bass? It looks like it might have originally had caramel pickups. I'm wondering if it might have been the original home of the pickups in my Starfire. deanjohnson Junior Username: deanjohnson Post Number: 18 Registered: 8-2007 Posted on Wednesday, February 27, 2013 - 8:55 pm:    Thanks Edwin! slawie Senior Member Username: slawie Post Number: 476 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 27, 2013 - 11:19 pm:    Hey Edwin, The serial number is 75-251S As far as I know the pick ups are original They are the single screw types with the round connectors slawie edwin Senior Member Username: edwin Post Number: 1446 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 28, 2013 - 1:21 am:    Ah, mine are older than that, I think.

The Elan 5 is used on songs I play with a pick ('88 and up Metallica songs) The '83 Spoiler on older 'tallica tunes songs played with the fingers (AXY = best thumbrest ever) and to keep the show going for some songs played with a pick. edwin Senior Member Username: edwin Post Number: 1457 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, March 10, 2013 - 1:15 pm:    I've got to reiterate once again that I think it's so awesome that Alembics can cover so much musical territory and sound so different doing it.

I only use it for wah/fuzz sounds (with a Big Muff), see here I never tried it with "normal" bass sounds though... I'll see if I can try it in the next couple of days, I'm sure you won't miss highs with this pedal :-) If you want one of these old ones and don't need the fuzz, best would be to get the Power Wah (PWO) They are a lot cheaper, have the same Wah sound and you can switch between Wah/volume pedal mode. 5a_quilt_top Intermediate Member Username: 5a_quilt_top Post Number: 115 Registered: 6-2012 Posted on Thursday, May 09, 2013 - 3:44 pm:    I have one of those: You are correct - the sweep is very wide and smooth and the fuzz is vicious. Sounds WAAYYYYY better for bass than guitar, IMO. I'd use it more, but it sucks tone when in bypass mode - any suggestions?

Sure looks good! jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3465 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Sunday, May 12, 2013 - 3:33 am:    I've only done one full 2 hour gig with it so far so it's still a work in progress as I still need to be able to move the controls instinctively from one type of sound to another and know it's there before starting to play as it's not easy to tweak between notes on a busy bass line. It really does look great, I love it. I actually play it more at home than I do my SII bass. We are doing some big festivals this year, Camp Bestival and, The Isle of Wight Bestival so I may take one of the series basses there. 10's of thousands turn up at the Bestival I'm told.....
