ALEMBIC ESSENCE 4 String Bass - $1200 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to: sale-158761943@craigslist.org Date: 2006-05-08, 4:10PM EDT ALEMBIC ESSENCE 4 String Bass This is an excellent bass for any player looking for killer feel and a HUGE amount of sounds. Alembic makes one of the best basses on the planet and this one is no exception. Features: -24 Fret Maple Neck with Walnut laminates -Unmarked Ebony Fretboard -Solid Mahogany Body -Alembic Pickups and electronics -Solid brass hardware -All Black Paint job I have the paperwork from Alembic stating all of the custom build materials and original order information. This bass was ordered and played by the bassist of Type O Negative and has been definitely used on the road. Cosmetically it has some issues but plays and sounds fantastic. Comes with un-original hardshell case. jack Member Username: jack Post Number: 60 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Wednesday, May 10, 2006 - 9:55 am:    I would defintely make sure he throws the strap in for free. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 3811 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 10, 2006 - 4:41 pm:    I believe the bass in the picture is a Spoiler. Maybe it's this bass. 2400wattman Intermediate Member Username: 2400wattman Post Number: 140 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Wednesday, May 10, 2006 - 7:30 pm:    This guy(Peter Steele)was at a gig we played at L'Amour's in Brooklyn back in '99. He and about ten others invaded our dressing room, ate our food and drank our beer. Very un-cool. Oh well when there's no security that's ROCK AND ROLL! jack Member Username: jack Post Number: 61 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Friday, May 12, 2006 - 9:57 am:    Oh man L'Amours! I would've loved to play there. Got to go just before it closed. What a spot. I just threw that picture of the spoiler in there because I think using a chain as a strap is pretty tough. Imagine if it's a 15 lb. Series? Ouch! 2400wattman Intermediate Member Username: 2400wattman Post Number: 141 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Friday, May 12, 2006 - 10:46 am:    Actually the acoustics were horrible (on stage and off!). The staff was very cool to us though. We used to play New York and Long Island quite a bit. Loved it every time, I just dig the people there. palmann Junior Username: palmann Post Number: 41 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Saturday, May 13, 2006 - 1:55 pm:    Perhaps it's a Essence with a Spoiler body?
