Finally I got this beast ! The sounds are amazing ! I own Hamer's 12 strings and I like the sound as guitar with low octave. But this 8 string sounds are deep low bass sound with clear octave sound. These are quite different more than I thought. The Scorpion body is very impressive. We know the scorpion that used by Greg Lake (ELP), Chuck Panpzzo (Styx) at arround 80'. This is the exactly that shape. The only difference is horn carving just like contour cut. This carving shows the sleek and sharp horns. Eiji |

Wow! I love it! Greg Lake's 8 string was one of the original Alembics that got its hooks in me and fueled my long love affair/obsession with Alembic. Congratulations! |

3D cut away of the horns are very cool! BTW can't you upload any sound clips? Toshiaki |

Interesting tailpiece. Don't believe I've ever seen one quite like it. It looks good with the body shape. |

What a magnificent bass I have been looking out for years for one of these, a couple of month back I eventually found a scorpion 5 string, but with the short horns, I bought it immediately, hope you dont mind me asking .............how did you find or locate this beauty ? |

Sexy bass. I've always been fond of the scorpion 8'since I was a kid and saw Greg Lakes pirate bass. |
