I am not much of a poster on this forum, but maybe somebody enjoys to see another Doubleneck  . The technical details can be found in the Featured Custom Archive: http://www.alembic.com/info/doubleneck.html. In the real world the colors are much more like this photo than the custom archive one. I ordered it in 1996 while I was working in California but it wasn't finished before 1999 (Mica promised, my next bass would be done faster - but how will I ever be able to afford another one?). I could never decide whether to go for a fretted or a fretless so I went for both. Since my last name is "Engel" (German for "Angel") I loved the idea of having cherub inlays. Of course I got hooked by Mark King's early "Starchild" Jaydee bass ever since I saw it. As you can see I also loved the idea of the wooden pickup covers Jaydee used on his basses. We tried to have them a bit differently though, also the inlays. The inlays on the frettless head stock read a wavy "Pearl of Angel", which I thought the bass would always be for me: The pearl of all my instruments (my last name being "Engel" - got it?) The bass is quite a heavy beast (I guess 19lbs) but it plays great, especially on the lap. Both necks are very accessable from that position. We had to reshape the body cut offs so you could get your arms over the instrument. The new body shape turned out really usefull! Since it had two necks I thought going for two different tail pieces would be fun. There is the long stinger cut out for the fretted "masculine" half of the bass and the heart omega cut out for the more tender "feminine" representation of sound (or whatever you like to interpret into it ). Not sure how great this idea really was... Hey, would you have thought that this double tail piece instrument fits perfectly on a standard bass stand? No problems there. Both necks play extremely well, they are so "flat", not chunky at all (but I guess that's normal on an Alembic). They really "make" you play. The fretless 6-string neck has a closer strings spacing, so you wouldn't have to wrap your hand too much around down where the neck is located on this bass. It feels like a 5-string. The drawback is that your "muscle memory" coming from a 4-string spacing gets somewhat confused over these tighter spaces at first. I went for the "full monty" so of course there are also front and side LEDs on both necks, all seperately controlable. With all those electronics this bass doesn't even consider battery use. Uhm, what else is there? Hope you enjoy this little bugger:  (Message edited by haddimudd on June 25, 2004) | ||

Thanks everybody for the kind words! Ellery, I believe what you said is true for every Alembic bass. I guess that's the reason why this forum exists. Keavin, unfortunately I am currently not gigging (rather giggling instead ;)). I haven't been in a band since I have a family. My wife is a drummer and we were hoping to play in a band altogether but right now we are expecting our second baby. Being a bass player isn't my primary profession so my current job in addition to the family life doesn't allow more time for public performances. I am sure it won't be long though until we will pick up our musical lifes again. Nevertheless, the bass is still in use for occasional recording sessions and for sure it is being played a lot at home. More pictures? I'll have to dig out some or make new ones. Until then let me introduce my 7 months old daughter Jerina (that was in 2001):  | ||

Sam, that must be exciting when kids become adults. I am looking forward to that time. Meanwhile my daughter is 3 1/2 and that already is a surprisingly grown up and smart age. Anyway: Here is another picture of her when she still was a baby:  You can also see how the bass fits on the bass stand, although it is a bit tilted in this photo. Some more trivia about the instrument: As great as this bass is, there are things I would do differently if I ordered this bass today: I don't know if you realized how the cherubs and stars are positioned on the fretboard. The stars are serving as fret markers, the cherubs are filling the spaces in between. Your mind however works the other way round and wants to read the more prominent cherubs as the fret markers. That of course can result in reaching for the wrong note if you are not careful. I wanted it the other way but the LEDs couldn't be installed inside the cherubs without the danger of breaking the inlay's mother of pearl. Another thing about the LEDs being fret markers is that I believe silver circles surrounding the LEDs is a great visual aid for the unlit LED. Unfortunately that wasn't available back when I ordered my bass. The electronics are two independent sets of series II stereo electronics, each pickup (per neck) being output seperately. Since this bass is still using the regular 5-pin output, the two independent sets of electronics are sharing the same lines inside the cable. This is great in a way because in theory you will rarely play on both necks at the same time, so you will switch to wichever neck you want to play and still have it's two pickups coming through two seperate outputs. However, in real life I often feel that I would prefer to use different outputs for the two different electronic sets rather than the individual pickups per one set. I would love to use one amp channel setting with the fretted sound but a different amp channel set to a customized fretless sound. Of course this would require to output both pickups per neck in mono through one line of the cable, but I must admit that I usually use my amp setup in mono anyways. Once I set up my sound on the onboard pre-amp I don't need the option to remix the pickups later again. It never really happened to me in real life. So this would be somethings I wished to change on the electronics. Another great improvement I think, but not available when I ordered this bass, is having a pickup-blending knob combined with an overall volume knob, instead of the regular series II fashion of having two seperate pickup volume knobs. I guess I would order it like this today. Oh, and one more thing about regular LEDs vs. laser LEDs: I always thought laser LEDs are for posers to show off in front of an audience. I changed my mind when I realized that the regular LEDs on my bass don't read very well on video and photos, which I think is a pity. After all, when I ordered this bass only red Laser LEDs were available and I wanted green. So today I would go for the green Laser-LEDs, maybe even amber ever since I saw them. Another trivia: Did you see the two switches at the lower horn of the corpus? Those are the switches for muting each neck. They are set up so in parallel positions always one neck is activated and the other one is muted - both up for the fretted on/frettless off and vice versa on the both-down position. With a snap of your fingers you can even mute both necks at the same time or unmute them both respectively. There is just one issue about the location of the switches. They are so low on the corpus that when playing the bass on the lap and tilting it forward (for whatever reason) the switches can be pressed against the thigh and being forced to switch to the upper position. That can be very enoying while playing the fretless neck, I can tell you . Actually, when building this bass we thought a lot about the best location for these switches. There weren't really that many options, especially when you are thinking in terms of easy and quick access. They probably are in the best location after all. I guess it would be fun to also trigger these switches via a foot switch. No idea how this could be incorporated though. You wouldn't want a cable running down from your bass to the foot switch anyways. One thing I am always missing is a "tummy cut" on the rear side of the body, something I do have on other basses and really do enjoy. It doesn't look particularly good with sandwitched wood though, the main reason why we abandoned the idea for this bass. But maybe it wouldn't look too bad after all? There is something about dented ribs I could easily live without . Obviously there are new features available today which weren't available back then, including the inlaid logo with shell, continuous backplates, combined colors of side LEDs etc. Lots of options to choose from these days . But let me point out some things I wouldn't ever want to miss: The Alembic Gotho mechanics are the best I have ever seen! Despite all the great things said about Schaller, the smoothness of the Gothos just feels like butter for tuning, apart from the fact that this bass doesn't detune much anyways. Not going into detail even with the rest of the great instrument... An Alembic bass really IS a treasure. Gee, what a lot of talking. Hope, you didn't mind. Hartmut | ||

Hartmut; I think I can speak for the group when I say that we don't mind a lot of talking at all. In general we like learning about individual basses, and there is a lot to learn about your bass. I'm still trying to figure out the controls; there doesn't seem to be enough controls for two sets of series II, so the two swiches near the bridge pickup must combine some functions. I'm guessing the four switches near the jack are for the LED's. Thanks for the pictures, it's a very nice bass! | ||
| haddimudd
Junior Username: haddimudd Post Number: 20 Registered: 6-2002 |
Oliver: Greetings from Munich! You own TWO Alembics? Lucky you! I could afford only one . Dave, the controls aren't much different to a regular Series II:  The knobs are concentric knobs, combining the functions of two seperate knobs of the standard Series II into one concentric knob, featuring the upper tip part and the lower ring part for two individual functions. The functions are: - concentric tip: pickup volume - concentric ring: pickup tone control Per neck there are three of these knobs (the ones with the stripes): The two on the left are for the two pickups, the right one is the master volume. The master volume isn't concentric, by the way, the ring on it is just for the consistent look. On the far right, next to the master volume, is the 3-way pickup selector switch: Left=bridge PU, center=both PUs, right=neck PU. Below the concentric knobs are the Q-switches (the pointed ones with the mother of pearl inlay), one for each pickup. They are the same like on a regular Series II. And of course you have all this twice for the two necks. Dave, you are correct about the LED switches next to the jack: - The upper row ones are two-way "on/off" switches (up=LEDs off, down=LEDs on), one for each neck. - The lower row ones are three-way switches controling which of the LEDs are to be powered (up=side LEDs, center=both, down=front LEDs), again one per neck. Greetings, Hartmut | ||

Thanks, 1stbass. She wasn't included in the price though ... I just realized there hasn't been a picture posted of the backside yet. There is not a lot about it except for another beautiful sight of interesting wood:  The golden backplates are so shiny they reflect like a mirror whatever is surrounding it, so the appearence of it is a bit off in this photo, due to the reflecting image of our yellow curtains... A little trivia on the wood: Originally I wanted a deep flame maple top and back, no burl. It was a unique experience when Bob Nelson took me over to the lumberyard and let me choose my favorite wood. Since it is very hard to get an idea of the qualities of wood grains on an untreated wood plank I almost passed by this beautiful multigrain wood. I was ready to insist on some of the other wood I saw, purely flame maple (probably not even very spectacular), but Bob convinced me to go for this rare one. I remember how my retailer told me a story about himself once choosing wood for his own Alembic, not listening to Bob's recommendations and really regretting it later. Bob is known to as THE eye for what makes a great looking wood laminate on your instrument, so I decided to rather not insist on my own choice and was lucky to go with what Bob has found for me. Back in the factory he did a rough touchup which brought to life the first glimps of what the wood would really look like when being finished. There was everything in it, flame, quilt and burl, altogether sharing the same space! Bob handed me the acrylic body template and together we defined which parts of the wood should be used for the bass. That way I could exactly define where I'd like to see the burl on my bass and where the flame or even quilt should be. This is a very unique way of having a custom instrument built for yourself. I am sure everybody who went to the factory and chose their own wood knows what I am talking about. | ||

I had the privilege of sliding the acrylic templates around on my own pieces of wood, with some expert commentary thrown in. Quite an experience. However, I have to admit that after shaping and sanding, it turned out a little different than I expected - mostly better, but different. For those of you who may not get this opportunity, I am absolutley convinced that the people at Alembic know wood better than almost all of us, and as long as they understand your tastes, you should trust their judgement - because it's almost certainly better than yours. No regrets here, I love mine (and the experience), but they could have done as well and I could have obsessed less, and all would be fine. | ||

Hey Werner, (I'll continue this post in English if you don't mind) Thanks a lot for your kind words! I am located in Munich, so whoever wants to see the instrument live would have to visit me here. As I posted above I am currently not in a situation for live performances - unless of course someone likes to hire me (nudge, nudge ). As soon as I will be back with an own formation I will make sure to post on this forum about where I will perform, promised. Feel free to shoot me an email if you like to stop by my place - you'll be very welcome! That of course applies to everyone who's interested! Bob, you're absolutely right, there is nothing to fear about letting Alembic choose the wood for you. If you're in their area though it is a great option to stop by the factory and to personally participate in the production process, that really is a very satisfying experience. It is not so much important for your bass as it is satisfying for your own personal feeling. Werner, I'd be curious how many Alembics have their home in Germany. We should open a new thread called "German Meeting Point" or something like that in order to find out. Maybe national "Meeting Point" threads would generally be a nice idea for people to find out about their area and Alembic basses. (Message edited by haddimudd on June 28, 2004) | ||

Paul, it sounds as if you know a lot of German Alembic users. My "meeting point" idea was more in terms of a virtual meeting point inside this forum, but of course Alembic owner's meeting events would be fun too. No idea about the closet thing. I don't know any Alembic owners who would keep their instruments locked away, but then again I don't know many Alembic owners personally in the first place. | ||

He-he ...Hartmuth. Yep ...a real meeting would be fun. I just THINK that there must be some Alembic owners in Germany because IFF I'm well informed they were first imported via Germany on the EU mainland. I think even Edwin (VH) got his fisrt bass via Germany. Now Germany IS a vast company so I'm just guessing there must be quite some Alembic owners. OTOH ...you don't see them a lot ....well ...I am not on the German music scene. BTW: you say you have one Alembic ....but ...oh ...huhuh ...I couldn't help looking right of you in the first picture and seeing ...yeah ...what IS it???

Paul, you are referring to the Pangborn in my first picture? You are right, that's one , although not built in Germany. Ashley Pangborn was located in the UK when he built those instruments in the 80s. There was some unfortunate twist of fate in his life which ended his company and drove him off the island. You seem well informed referring him to Germany though, because to my knowledge he indeed does live in Germany now, working at a Gibson custom shop in Hamburg - at least that's what I heard two years ago. And as much as he cloned the Alembic design, he created some great instruments. Not as great as a real Alembic but still a killer instrument for its price. I came across this Pangborn bass when I was browsing a music shop in Bochum, Germany. That was half a year before my Alembic doubleneck was eventually finished, so I was desperate enough to get a high quality bass. In the shop the Pangborn really jumped right at at me and I fell in love immediately. It was a used instrument so I got it at a fair price after all. That bass has some ultrafast responding neck and sounds great even unamplified. I wish it had Alembic electronics though, the original ones aren't that great. It sounds decent but the knobs and everything are quite worn out. Maybe one day, when I am rich again, I'll upgrade it. ***** EDIT: For those interested there is a link to a Pangborn tribute site (quite outdated actually): www.geocities.com/yobrode and that particular bass: www.geocities.com/yobrode/hartmut.htm ****** It is still not a real Alembic, so nevertheless I own just ONE Alembic . If ever I could afford a second Alembic I am sure I'd go for a short scale Series II (or I?) with red (or amber?) Laser LEDs, that cool looking "black fire" chromalusion finish and maybe (if the budget allows) for the wooden pickup covers again. But obviously this belongs to the "dreaming for now" category . Bernhard, let's email and see how we can get together! Hartmut (Message edited by haddimudd on July 01, 2004) | ||

I guess I would order it like this today." Well, I think I have to take back my above statement after I read many posts regarding pan vs. seperate volume controls. I am convinced now that having the seperate pickup volumes gives more tonal control than one pan control. So I am perfectly well set with what I have already! | ||

Thanks Paul! And you are wrong, they come with plenty of fancy options, but you are right about choosing the specifications. We will still customize them to our preferred specs, of course. Michael, they must call you Eagle-Eye Michael, I was wondering how long this little incident would go unnoticed! It is not what it looks like, i.e. it is not a 1/4" jack, although I expected people might think that. It is just that mysteriously the volume knob has come off with parts of the control during the last weeks leaving this "hole" with the remaining half of the control. The wooden knob is currently at Alembic for repair. As I understand it will come back complete with a replacement control and once it is installed we will be back to normal again.

I dug out some old photos which were taken when the finished bass was presented to me at Alembic in 1998. Since it is common habit in my business field to give credits to those people involved in a project, I strongly felt like getting the "wizards" together for a group picture: With no further ado (and with Mica's support) behold the "crew of wizardry" at Alembic in December 1998:   From left to right the credits go to: Tony - wound and cast the pickups Jonathon - did the setup? Mica isn't sure... Kris - did the pickup covers (and the body assembly?) James - did the setup? Again, Mica isn't sure... Steve - did the neck assembly (and the body assembly?) Mary - office Bob - did the inlays and helped me finding the right wood Susan - office Ron - made the electronics Mica - office, doing a great customer support Hartmut - happy customer Mike (picture below) - made the wooden knobs:  Steve in a nice pose with the bass (on green Alembic grass):  Very special thanks go to Trevor Lindsey (not pictured), a wonderful bass player and longtime Alembic user, who gave me invaluable input and feedback during the planning and development of this instrument. Thanks to everybody involved! Hartmut | ||
