Hi Guys, As much as I hate to part with this beautiful instrument, after a year and a half I realize that this body size and scale length is a little big for me. All my other basses are long scale, but since the body styles are much smaller, first position reach is not as far out. The only thought that keeps me going now is that as soon as I sell this baby, I will start the process for another custom Alembic, probably a Stanley Clark Signature. Anyway, enough rambling...here are the specs for Lyric: Mark King Deluxe 5-String Bass S/N: 02MK12855 USA Birth Date: 08/30/2002 Triple Omega Heart w/ pistol grip Body Style Boby: Mahogany w/ Maple accents Laminate: Coco Bolo Top & Back Body Depth: 1.5” Fingerboard: ebony, Fretted Neck thru body: 4 maple & 3 purplehart laminates Neck Shape: Asymmetrical oval Scale: 34" Dual truss rods Inlays: Abalone Finish: high gloss polyester, satin neck Pickups: AXY56 Controls: vol, pan, low-pass filter w/ q switch x2 Side-mounted input jack Tailpiece: solid brass, bird Machine heads: gold Alembic-Gotoh This is an amazing sounding bass (as I know all Amembics are). She is in "new" condition; the only slight flaw is a scuff mark on the brass truss rod cover where my thumb hits it while slapping...but I am ordering a new truss rod cover from Alembic to put her back in perfect condition. Will be posting her on ebay in a few days...but wanted to start her off here with family. Mikey/ P.S. And yes...I did name my bass Lyric...so this is not an easy decision to part with her. I believe parting w/ my first wife was less stressful than this one.  (Message edited by pookeymp on June 07, 2004) (Message edited by pookeymp on June 08, 2004) | ||

A fellow Alembician sent me an email yesterday requesting info on this sale, but unfortunately there was no name listed, and when I tried replying, received a 'Returned mail: user unknown' message. POP3User@peoplepc.com seems to be an address that cannot be replied to. Please email me again @ pookeymp@aol.com and include another email address that I can respond to, or feel free to call me @ (732) 713-6339. Mikey | ||

Hey Chris, I see you are quite close...less than an hour away. Feel free to pop on by and give her a try. Make sure you bring your Alembics with you I checked out your basses...very nice. Your Triple O is absolutely gorgeous...and your Epic is no slouch either...both beautiful instruments. Mikey/ | ||

The sad day has arrived...she is on her way to a new home. But I am consoled by the fact that she will make someone very happy. Oh well...back to the lab...time to start thinking about my next short-scale custom. Mikey/ |
