Best looking Alembic you’ve seen

[FC Bass]

Extremely in love with these:

2010 Elan 5 and 2023 Series II Europa 5

Buy used and do your own setups. Unless it needs a refret, there's really no point in paying someone else to adjust a few screws and whatnots. Just follow the instructions that J Wilson penned

Agreed. Solid writeup.

These are my 6 alembics
I love these basses; they are different to everything else ! One has a graphite neck (neckthrough of course ).

Somehow the phrase "my six Alembics" is not one that ever occurred to me might exist in the English language. =80

Does the cf neck make the bass sound different? If so, do you like it?

Yes it sounds very different with the graphite neck; more aggressive and a better slap sound ; that bass is a beast !

The bass that made Me want to start playing was Stanley Clarke's Alembic.
But at 19 years of age I could not afford one.
But their aesthetics forever swayed my preferences in basses.

For me,this is the best looking Alembic bass.
An Alembic "Mark King"K type sixer.
