@@familyengineering5591 I wish!

dumb a wipe

?

@@trevorlindsey580 I know it is a fine bass, but for most people it is a very high end production bass. The price I quoted is the Sweetwater price. The list price is closer to $3,200. At that price level, no visible defects should be a given, in my opinion.

@@Below-Average_Joe There really are no defects. You have to remember I am a luthier, and I have a hyper critical eye. I see things 99% of the world would not ever see.

@@trevorlindsey580 that’s something I did not take into consideration. I am enjoying your channel.😊

Mega custom....as are most Alembics.

@@trevorlindsey580 damn….. I am a 7 string bass player, I would buy a Melvin Lee Davis Ken Smith MD7, but your beast is much more crazy…….

@@LindaPituccini I have had many MD7's from Ken, and they are great. That said, I am still convinced that there is no better bass than an Alembic......

@@trevorlindsey580 do you still possess this subject 7 string spoiler? I've seen the same one on reverb..... if ever you would sell it, let me know please, i am in Canada

@@LindaPituccini Hi Linda, I do still own this bass. I will keep it in mind if I decide to pass it along.

Well, for at least 46 years LOL. Many thanks!

I twanged on it a few times, but this video was more about describing how the pickup could be modified. Sorry to let you down.

Long scale. Balance is not bad, but Alembic basses in this body style have very long feeling necks, and can be heavy. If you want the best tone, you buy an Alembic. If you want perfect balance, you need to buy a Rogue or Europa version.

@@trevorlindsey580 that makes sense. I have an Alembic Spoiler that balances fairly well but I am a bit worried about the serie 1 and 2 basses like yours with the small upper horn. That might slip of your leg pretty easily when seated without using a strap? Hope to get a series 1 one day too.

@@trevorlindsey580 just uploaded a video of my 1988 Spoiler today in case you are interested: ua-cam.com/video/903pWU7Glg4/v-deo.htmlsi=3wdMQMGRY3wbxlvN

Just plugged in to my Alembic F1X and a Carvin power amp with Genzler 12 Array cabinet. Recorded with only my I Phone internal mic.

Red with red headstock.

Thanks so much. Yes, I am using D'Addario Chromes in the lighter gauge. I would use the nylon wrap strings, but you can't get the high string in nylon.

Those maple lines have aged, and are barely visible now. With no lines, and the side dots in the wrong place, this thing is way more challenging than you can imagine. LOL.

May your father rest in peace. He raised a decent man

Thanks so much. It is my main session bass, and it never disappoints.

It definitely works, and it is a real back saver.

Nah, I wanted the light weight. I am sure the older ones are a few pounds heavier.

I used to use the L a Bellas, but now I am using the D'Addario tape wounds.

There is a dunlop strap button on the back currently. You can put the brass one on if you like, or just use a Dunlop straplock with what was on there when you bought it.

@@trevorlindsey580 thank you. I hope I can do it the justice you have shown it. It's magical. Respectfully Jeremy

Hi Trevor. I tried different bass straps but with the center strap pin and front strap lock the strap twists and is not practical. Wondering if the two end pieces are strap holders or mere decoration. I want to play the bass standing. Thank you for any insight.

I don't know why that plate and strap button were made for the back of that bass. I suspect it may have been done to attach the bass to some kind of support stand or special strap. One of the mysteries of that bass. Just use the regular strap button on the horn. @@jeremyamsler268
