Ive tried two of my father's friends' out and their tone is absolutely superb. One of my fathers other friends used a spoiler for years with Carnivore, and some of my favorite bassists have used them too like Jason Newsted, Paulo pinto jr, Entwistle,, etc... Do any of you have four or 5 string used alembics for sale? Nothing crazy like the only other ones I've seen used for $4000+, but yes; lemme know what you got jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 4054 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, June 06, 2014 - 10:36 pm:    This one has been on sale on bass chat UK for a while and last commented on in January so not sure if it's still up for sale but I contacted him today to let him know of an your interest in a lefty. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/217050-alembic-epic-4/page__pid__2348605#entry2348605 Jazzyvee xero_tolerance Junior Username: xero_tolerance Post Number: 23 Registered: 5-2014 Posted on Friday, June 06, 2014 - 10:50 pm:    Thank you so much jazzy I plan on hopefully acquiring my first alembic. If I can't find a spoiler I think It would be cool to send the epic into the mother ship and maybe get the body modded a bit, if possible, and get spoiler electronics put in. It would definitely be a unique concept! xero_tolerance Junior Username: xero_tolerance Post Number: 24 Registered: 5-2014 Posted on Friday, June 06, 2014 - 10:51 pm:    Thank you so much jazzy I plan on hopefully acquiring my first alembic.

I've decided to just look for what I want. I'm knocking epics off of the list. Basically just spoilers persuaders and elans now. And similar models of course adriaan Moderator Username: adriaan Post Number: 3116 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, June 13, 2014 - 2:30 am:    [title adjusted] xero_tolerance Junior Username: xero_tolerance Post Number: 37 Registered: 5-2014 Posted on Friday, June 13, 2014 - 3:24 am:    > Thank you flpete1uw Advanced Member Username: flpete1uw Post Number: 312 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Sunday, June 15, 2014 - 1:35 pm:    Try your bidding hand on this one, good luck http://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-Alembic-USA-ESSENCE-5-String-Bass-Flamed-Maple-and-Vermillion-/141319765927?pt=Guitar&hash=item20e7507fa7 flpete1uw Advanced Member Username: flpete1uw Post Number: 313 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Sunday, June 15, 2014 - 1:43 pm:    Sorry on the last post it's not a lefty, no way to delete.
