Hi to all Alembic fans all over the world. I just want to share what I call "coming home". I was playing my Excel 5 for years, and I had the luck to get an Orion 5 and Essence 5 in perfect condition too. So after work I allways have the choice you can see on the fotos. So what shall I say - thank you Alembic. I found my basses, I found my dreams. Kind regards from germany, Chris  | |||

Nice set of cousins you have there. What a selection of maple tops aswell. Is that a Markbass LMK, i see hiding in the background? | |||

Hi Bassmann68, yes - you are right. It is an LMK standing on a tech soundsystem ND110S ( 300 Watt, 9 Kg / 20 lb ! ) - this is my livingroom stack. For the stage I prefer my glockenklang enclosures: Uno Rock and Quattro. To my surprise, the LMK is strong enough to handle this stack. Kind regards, Chris | |||

Welcome to the club Chris... nice bass family! 300W at 9Kg? That's impressive. Do you know of a webpage for that? I couldn't find it online. How does it sound? Edit: Nevermind, I found it... http://www.tech-soundsystems.com/eng/home/index.html (Message edited by 3rd_ray on July 09, 2008) | |||

Hi 3rd_ray, in the meantime they changed their name to tecamp ( www.tecamp.de ). To my point of view, the neodym speakers do allways sound a little more agressive, especially on higher volumes. But if you are playing a small setup ( like this little enclosure ), this might be an advantatge, because with the band you have a better sound. The small 110 and the little bigger 112 sound pretty warm and natural. The 110 is a closed enclosure ( no bass-reflex ), what makes it a little more detailled. Even with a big Amp ( this little LMK has 500 Watt at 4 Ohm ! ), this enclosure sounds very good, even if you turn it louder. There are different positions for the horn - from warm attack to hard attack, and you can even switch it on and off with a footswitch ( interesting for slappers ? ). As there is a new series on the market, I got this little baby really cheap. But the best thing at all - my wife loves it, because it is so small! So I was permitted to have it in the livingroom. Appart from this joke - it is allways a pleasure to play with such a little setup. First of all, everybody is laughing, until you raise the volume a little bit. Kind regards, Chris | |||

Thanks for the info Chris. I have the same thing in mind, something small for the living room. I might give TecAmp a try. Mike | |||

That top looks a lot like the top on my Essence. I wonder if it was cut from the same board. | |||

If I had three blonde girls that looked like that, I'd never let them leave the house. Just kidding. Just awesome. | |||

Hello to the club ! After years of searching, I found a new member of my family - a custom Excel 5 with a spectacular buckeye burl top. See the picture ! This is the best place in my livingroom ;-)) Kind regards, Bassicmusik
