Hey... Since I've never owned an Alembic, there was no real reason to be a part of this board. However, since I just sent payment today for my 1st Alembic...a 1996 Essence Exploiter....I thought I should sign up. According to the current owner of this bass, he bought it new (actually NOS) and in fact he still has the original warranty/Instrument Wood Card and it has yet to be registered. I've been wanting an Exploiter for a long time and even though this isn't one of the ones made in the mid 80's, I've been told that one with the Essence electronics isn't very common either. I can't wait to get it. Here are a couple of pics from the current owner.... http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x190/peabody59/alembic1-4.jpg http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x190/peabody59/alembic2-4.jpg | ||

Welcome! The Exploiter / Spyder body shape is one of my favorites. If you have a 34" scale, you may find it to be a bit intimidating at first, but if you work with it, you will find that it rewards you with some impressive tones. +1 on the FAQ and Must Reads. Highly recommended, especially the set-up instructions. | ||

Hi and welcome ! What an awesome bass !! I someday will own a lefty Exploiter myself and was hoping to do Essence or Europa electronics to keep it simple. Let us know how you like it ! | ||

The Exploiter arrived today. Words (nor pictures) can describe how beautiful this bass is. Because I'm so used to Fender-like basses with the upper horn, it may take a little getting used to with the strap button where it is....but time I have. It's a lot lighter than I thought it would be, and although I'm a thin neck guy (the nut is in between 1 5/8" and 1 3/4"), the neck still feels great in my hand.
