I'm looking for a 5 string Alembic, preferably an Essence but others (Epic, Orion) are OK. Fretless preferred but I will seriously consider a fretted one. I prefer something at least mid nineties or newer and at least near mint condition. Price: around $2000 (ignore my post further down) (Message edited by juggernaught on April 07, 2007) | ||

John, If he's not interested, post any details you might think are pertinent. I'm not in a position to buy another one now, but I'm looking for a Orion 5 and I have a bass with signature electronics- getting yours would make alot of sense (depending on the time frame you're looking to sell in).

I will include a hard shell case! I believe it is a TKL. John | ||

I don't have much experience with Alembic electronics. I've tried the ones on the Epic and that's it. How much of a difference does it make? | ||

Devon, I've only played my bass- which started with Europa electronics and was then upgraded to signature. I have Vol, Pan, Filter, Filter and then 4 switches- +/- bass and treble and a Q switch for each pickup. Personally, I love having a filter and Q for each pickup- that in combination with a pan is a killer combo for me- probably all I could ever want or effectively use. I love it and will make sure I get something similar on any bass I get in the future. Toby | ||

Thanks Toby, Guess as long as I'm asking questions: what's the difference between the set and thru necks as far as sound? I'm trying to hold out for a fretless Essence, but this one is very tempting... | ||

Devon, I'm not one to speak on the difference between set neck and neck thru basses. There are quite a few here who have both and I'm sure one will chime in before too long. Also- there have been a few discussions about the differences of late. Here is one of them. There is a link in the 2nd post that will lead you to another thread where it's discussed. I have a neck thru Rogue and am looking to add a set neck sometime in the future. The one in question here is probably coming a bit early in the game for me, but no harm in asking. ;) |
