Acquired my Alembic Essence a few months ago and love it. I previously played Fender Jazz basses although my first one I had upgraded to Alembic activators in the 80s. I always have questions and I am active on Talk Bass. Thanks!! funkyjazzjunky Senior Member Username: funkyjazzjunky Post Number: 928 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2014 - 2:30 pm:    Welcome!

Hey yall, I am new to the listserve and worship Alembic guitars and basses. I have not owned any guitars yet ;( But I have been blowing on a few Essences over the years, a 94 and a five string fretless from 91. Greetings! a slawie Senior Member Username: slawie Post Number: 674 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Monday, October 27, 2014 - 9:10 pm:    What a coincidence. I also have (had) a Jazz Bass with activators and also an Essence and a Series 1 Fretless. As others have said pictures are the best. I replaced the original pickups back in the Jazz Bass to bring it back to standard configuration. The thing is I never play it! The Essence is my go-to bass now. I am just trying to get my ducks in a row as the Essence is a 5 string. Man that 1 extra string does throw out my left hand technique.

How can I ask someone to do something that I wont do? Slawie
