This Series II in buckeyeburl is the must incredible Alembic MK I never see !! some sc band !! complete band 1 complete band 2 complete page: http://www.batraciens-reptiles.com/alembic.htm band: http://www.schooldays.ch Thanks oggydoggy Advanced Member Username: oggydoggy Post Number: 226 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Thursday, January 17, 2013 - 7:25 am:    Very nice! jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3283 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, January 17, 2013 - 10:31 am:    That is such an incredible collection of superb basses PierreYves You must be very proud to own them. Once you get to know them all personally it will be interesting to hear which one has the sound you prefer most.

Series shortscale/chrome hardware as a favorite of the bunch. I swear, Alembic's have only improved in more recent years!! cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 1385 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Thursday, January 17, 2013 - 6:29 pm:    We often hear around here "the pictures don't do it justice." I had the pleasure of meeting the cocobolo one, and know just how much more beautiful it is even than it looks here. I have to assume the same holds true for its companions, in which case.....oh my goodness gracious , what a pile of yummy! How can you possibly decide which one to play, Pierre-Yves? Peter pierreyves Senior Member Username: pierreyves Post Number: 1128 Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Friday, January 18, 2013 - 12:33 am:    I use mainly the blackwood with my band and the coco bolo one. My bass player (when I play tenor) use my SC signature deluxe (wich is not o the picture). If I play standard bass for others things, as Level 42, Marcus Miller etc. I use the MK's. The koa bass is for "museum" ! I used it before the blackwood. I must to say that Edwin's coco bolo give my preferate sound to play some Clarke's music in standard bass, not tried to change tuning. flpete1uw Intermediate Member Username: flpete1uw Post Number: 149 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Friday, January 18, 2013 - 6:32 am:    PierreYves, You have some Fine taste in Bass collection, they’re exquisite! The subtleties of each one, the strings to use on each?, the joy of remembering each for their uniqueness must be a joy! I agree this is an amazing collection of Alembic Basses. Personally I Love they are all 4 strings. Well done Sir!

Thanks for your comment eligilam Senior Member Username: eligilam Post Number: 402 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Friday, January 18, 2013 - 9:42 am:    Perhaps the best personal Alembic collection I've seen. Although all of those basses are top notch and highly desirable, the blackwood is still The King, in my opinion. pierreyves Senior Member Username: pierreyves Post Number: 1132 Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Friday, January 18, 2013 - 10:12 am:    I was playing the buckeyeburl one hour now.... speechless... oddmetersam Advanced Member Username: oddmetersam Post Number: 219 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Friday, January 18, 2013 - 11:41 pm:    I can believe it! mario_farufyno Senior Member Username: mario_farufyno Post Number: 863 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Sunday, January 20, 2013 - 7:52 pm:    magnifique bigyouth Advanced Member Username: bigyouth Post Number: 219 Registered: 7-2006 Posted on Thursday, January 24, 2013 - 7:41 am:    trop PUISSANT pierreyves Senior Member Username: pierreyves Post Number: 1133 Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Thursday, January 24, 2013 - 7:58 am:    ;-) je viens de vendre ma première SC deluxe qui n'est pas sur la photo :-/ bigyouth Advanced Member Username: bigyouth Post Number: 220 Registered: 7-2006 Posted on Thursday, January 24, 2013 - 11:48 am:    Elle était belle aussi la deluxe, mais vu ce que tu a la,pas de regret je pense je les adorent tes basses, féliçitation encore Mehdi pierreyves Senior Member Username: pierreyves Post Number: 1134 Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Thursday, January 24, 2013 - 12:35 pm:    Yes my 04SC13386 was sold yesterday, it was a nice bass and now it's a friend's bass.
