Not seen on stage, but in a commercial, I think. As posted elsewhere. Has anyone seen the bass guitar in that Bowflex commercial? Is it an Alembic?.....Thanks....Just curious |

Hang in there, man. You'll make that hit. I've got a good feeling.
A Casino Epi and vintage Alembic Series, those are two sweet instruments.

The Casino has parallelogram inlays, P-90 p/ups & a trapeze tailpiece - that appears to be a Dot - Epi's take on the early 335.

Thanks Peter.
I read an interview with Paul McCartney once and he really, really liked the Epi Casinos. |

You're welcome, David. And John Lennon made his Casino his main electric from its purchase in '64 until his death. A friend of mine has a '66, sanded down like John's - I love them (my own Epi is a Sheraton - which I also love)

If I'm not mistaken that's one of our European members. I can't think of his name off hand but the bass's name is Marilyn.

That's Jan Riviere.
He WAS the bassplayer for a Belgian Cover band Mellow Yellow!
I heard them once and they were pretty amazing.
So was Jan!
So was Marylin! Naming the bass Marylin was more or less my idea!

Here is my Alembic Europa 5, seen on stage with me holding on for dear life. It's a photo from the gig I did last night with my jazz-funk band at a small Jazz club.

It was a great night, we finished off the gig with a rendition of Marcus Millers version of Frankenstien.
It went down a treat.

"Holding on for dear life", ha! I used to do that with an old drummer and his fluctuating meter/poor interpretation of time. I neede ice baths for my right hand at the end of the night. Looks like you're having a blast though. Contact us if you come to our side of the "pond" |

I strongly Believe old#12 is the OLDEST alembic being played still & not retired.

Keavin, in a city the size of Jacksonville, Fl I've only seen two. One was a Series 1 in a store about 1982. The other a 5 string Epic played by a guy in a Dead tribute band called Laughing Bones. That's not counting Stanley's when he's been here. Everything else is Fender or Ibanez with the occasional Pedulla. |
