Dave, I remember seeing your fretless posted a while back. I did not realize till now that it was still with you. I looks like a wonderful instrument. I can only imagine the beautiful tones that could emanate from this instrument. | ||

Hi Ken; yes it is still available. Email sent. By the way, Mica sent me the build details: MSBI-4 Series I 4-string bass top: Rosewood body: Mahogany back: Rosewood neck: Maple and Purpleheart scale: 32" medium fingerboard: Ebony neck note: reinforced with graphite peghead veneers: Rosewood tuners: Schaller I had not previously known that it has a graphite reinforced neck. Very cool! In response to another emailed inquiry, I recently plugged it into my rig; and it sounded wonderful. So much so that there was the idea that this bass would be worth my deciding to focus on fretless. But then I remembered how I still need to focus all of my practice time on my six string. This bass will at some point make a wonderful voice for someone. | ||

Dave, for some reason I did not receive the email. Please try again. | ||

Ken; I sent it again a few minutes ago, but now I'm noticing that the email address in your club profile is not the same as the address on the email that I replied to, which I'm guessing is your work address. So if you haven't checked your work email, look there. | ||

Dave, w/ the graphite reinforcements, does this bass still have dual truss rods??? I can't help but mention that every time I see this bass I think "prime real estate for a mission control electronics upgrade"..... | ||

Hi Ken; I just got in, and yes, I have email! Mike; yes, it does have dual truss rods, and they work as expected. And for a control layout, do you mean like this one? | ||

Hello there -- I've been interested in the right Alembic fretless bass for some time, and yours seems quite promising. Will you please email me the asking price? Beautiful instrument, indeed! ~Ryan | ||

Hi Ryan; it appears that a sale is pending. If for some reason it isn't completed, I will email you. | ||

LOL, Dave.... That's not quite what I had in mind. I was thinking master vol, CVQs, and perhaps filter gains. | ||

I heard that Dave taped up a box yesterday, so I'm pretty sure he found this bass a new home. | ||

Yes Mica, this bass is currently on its way to me in Philly. Since my artist rep deal expired with Zon, a few more years ago than I care to think about, I have been looking for another high end bass to play and experiment with. This will be my very first Alembic. I'm jumping out of my skin waiting for it to land. Hopefully I will be hitting the stage with it on March 3rd. If I don't have some fun with it playing some Dead in Jamaica in February first. Thanks Dave! | ||

Dave - Your post with the link to a pic of one of your favorite "mission control" layouts was my former bass! SN:75 241 It is now in the hands of another member on this forum. I sure do miss her, but know she is well loved. Truly a phenomenal intrument. | ||
