am selling my 1994 Alembic Europa 5-string bass. This really is an amazing player. Lots of Sustain. And talk about Mud Flaps, This baby's got em. There is so much Big Bottom in this thing that it is almost scary. This bass is truly 99.99% Mint. And yes, I did play it a lot. I have taken good care of it. I do not have a hard case for it. But, one can be purchased from Alembic. I believe this bass was first sold in Austin Texas and then traded in. One of my previous clients purchased the bass in Austin. He held onto it for a couple of years and then traded it to my store a few years ago. The moment I plugged it into a PA system, I was floored and hooked by the amount of BASS this thing produces. I traded my 5-string Alembic Essence for it. This bass has been recorded on a couple of New York Dance Club albums. $2900 obo. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you want pictures. my email address is doc@zamarsound.com | ||

I don't think so, maybe just some misreading or something. Is it possible for you to post some pictures here? Sounds like a very interesting Bass, you would make many of us very happy if you did. Cheers! F.C. (Message edited by fc_spoiler on August 17, 2006) | ||

Nice....Europa's are lovely basses. My personal preferance for Alembics is their natural wood finish. Is this the original colour of the bass or has it been re-sprayed.? All the best with the sale. I got one off a guy on the forum last summer and they are fantastic basses. Jazzyvee | ||

Isn't she a beauty. I generally prefer natural finishes myself. But when I plugged it in and felt that big bottom, it was all over. As far as I know, Alembic made this in White for the original owner. I'm only selling this to help pay for the "Rich in Musical History" Series II that I just got. | ||

This shape really works in white, and is a rare painted ALEMBIC to boot. But I wonder: I wonder what's underneath it? Other makers of course use wood that is fine sonically/weight-wise, but not the prettiest for use in clear/tint finishes. I can only imagine ALEMBIC probably has nothing that fits that description, but I wonder what it's made of? J o e y | ||

I'm pretty certain that it is all maple. | ||

Usually an Alembic with a opaque finish from the factory will have a solid Maple or solid Mahogany body. | ||

Mica, then what, a pinstripe neckthru instead of the purpleheart? I love ALEMBICs in COLOR. J o e y | ||

Hi Doc The ebony Rogue 5 I got from you at GS is my main bass. I set the switches like you, bass boost, treble cut, Q on. I turn the filter all the way open, with TI flats. It's got a strong low D through a 15...it's a great club bass! Good luck with this Europa. What scale is it? Paul | ||

It's such a great tone setting. Nice and punchy for the fingerstyle funk. | ||

As the "ever correcting/ever guiding" clubmembers know, I've owned alot of Alembics and expressed some "humblingly" ignorant opinions which have been corrected faster than an incontinent poleman at the top of a 250K volt metal tower; however, I've seen at least 3 of these in the last 2 years and they're beautiful. My only Alembic, having sold the legendary "Mandarin", is a 4 string Europa w/side LED's and I love it. It's a rock-and-roll dream! Plenty of punch. Plenty of thud. I can dial it all in! Muddy. Clear. It's all there............plus a light show! Europa's rule and I think we should welcome this seller to our fold and sing the praises of his bass. If I weren't selling my Surine Esprit S/N 001EX 5 string to fund my fretless 5 string Surine, I'd buy this thing. IMHO, it's absolutely beautiful! | ||

Unfortunately it did not sell. Would you like to be the new owner/lover of this fine instrument. |
