 Hi guys, I'm Olson living in Jakarta, Indonesia. I got this bass 2 years ago when I was studying in Sydney, Australia. I contacted Alembic agent in Jakarta and wait for about 3 months to get this bass. They said that I was the 1st person who order Alembic bass through them. This bass is being used for church ministries until now. it sounds great! and I believe that Alembic is one of the best instrument maker ever. (Message edited by olsonsw on November 21, 2006) | ||

Hi Olson, welcome to the club! Nice bass and nice rig! I have a friend who uses those black coated strings. He says they stay bright much longer than regular strings. I also use a Rogue 5 as my main bass. Paul | ||

Sorry for the double post. By the way,Olson,if you dont mind,and you hv a free time this week,can I stop by and take a look at your Rogue.Cause actually,Im not really sure about the body shape for my custom 7strings. Persuaders are too wide,heavy and neck divers.Europa is just a little too wide.Rogue shape is the best looking but I never lay a hand on one.So it would be a priceless opportunity if I could see one..Please reply ASAP. You can mail me at robert_hotwani@yahoo.com Thank you very much Regards Robert | ||

Great choice of basses! Your Rogue is a masterpiece - just like every Alembic :-) The MTD is mega sweet, and as for the Lakland... I know Lakland basses very well and I find their sound very versatile - I want to buy one as a companion for my Essence 5. Alembics have a very distinctive sound which I totally love but it doesn't suit everything. An Alembic and a Lakland as my main fretted 5ers would compliment each other perfectly :-) And a sweet rig - I love Aguilar gear! | ||

Thanks for all the comments. @ Basstard, I agree to what you sayin' When playing a Lakland, it may fit into every kind of music. sounds just quite similar to Musicman & Precision Fender, while MTD and ALEMBIC have their own strong characteristic. Overall Rogue is still the most expensive among the others even though I bought the Rogue in 2004. cheers. |
