hello everybody. I dream of having a bigsby-like vibrato on my mark king. I think i've already seen one on john entwistle alembic. Is that right? Is it possible? Thanx. |

There's a few pics of Alembics with tremelos in this old thread. Stanley Clarke had the first one I ever saw on the cover of his 'I wanna play for you' album. Cuple of pics of it here graeme |

All I can tell you is that every tremolo we've ever installed on a bass has come off in later years. There's just no way to know if you will want it there in 10 years, but it's fun to experiment. Maybe plan on a decorative inlay to disguise the former tremolo location if it ever comes to that. |
