Which Alembic do you own?
a '77 Series 1 built by Michael Dolan and Rob Turner


My birthday's March 13th. Send it over, please. :-)

The one with the separate blue power supply box? I used to have one of
those. For a number of reasons, I stopped playing for a while. Sold it to
add to the boat money pot. I never really got to enjoy it as much as I would
now because I didn't have the time and focus to experiment with strings &
various amps & cabinets.


Doug, yes... it does have the Blue power box. I was thinking on sending
it back to Alembic to have the LED's put in the fret markers, and give
it a good fret dressing but the price quote of $1500.00 was a bit over
the edge for me.

as far as amps goes, any bass that gets taken to a good gig where some
strength is needed, I play it through my Ampeg "Punisher" it's more
than I need for about any occasion, otherwise they usually get routed
through an SWR 4003 and a various host of cabinets.

I ahve a Peavey 300 combo in the upstairs of our house for a practice
"amp"
