My original idea was to use all of my basses (Sadowsky, Lakland, Stingray fretless along with my Alembic), but once I got a listen to the Series I electronics in this environment, it made no sense to use anything but the Alembic. I'm going straight from the DS-5R into two tracks in the board and the engineer was very pleased with the tone I achieved. I'm very excited to hear what final product ends up sounding like.

You should see the smile on the engineer's face when I gave him the signal out of the Orion through Demeter tube pre. He just managed to mumble "beautifull".

It was a really nice experience. My bass sounded awesome. Guitar setup and check - 30 minutes Drums setup and check - 3 hours Bass setup and check - about 2 minutes jagerphan84 Intermediate Member Username: jagerphan84 Post Number: 140 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Friday, December 17, 2004 - 3:46 pm:    See? If you spend enough time in the studio, an Alembic pays for itself. Another excuse for me to keep buying them... haddimudd Intermediate Member Username: haddimudd Post Number: 109 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, April 15, 2005 - 9:38 am:    I was curious if any Alembic owner uses an Alembic pre-amp also with recording. I was planning to do so very soon in order to get the full sound features of the tubes as well as the SF-2. Or is that a redundant approach for recording? Please, let me know what you think.

I used my F-1X with my SF-2 on my band's recent demo recordings. jetbass79 Junior Username: jetbass79 Post Number: 29 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Sunday, May 15, 2005 - 11:13 pm:    These basses seem to be the greatest direct recording instruments on the planet...we got usable bass sounds so easily in minutes with my buddy's setup. Most remarkable.
