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. jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 3346 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 10, 2013 - 4:22 am:    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 superlow New Username: superlow Post Number: 8 Registered: 4-2013 Posted on Wednesday, April 10, 2013 - 4:41 am:    ok so it does exist. Thank you. people at alembic, do you think it's possible? Do I make a mistake transforming my bass? questions.....I'll get the answer on old thread I suppose.. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7960 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, April 11, 2013 - 3:29 pm:    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. superlow New Username: superlow Post Number: 10 Registered: 4-2013 Posted on Friday, April 12, 2013 - 12:14 am:    ok thank you mica. It seems that you have doubt on this!! If I put one, alembic will do it, nobody else. well, if you're ok!!
