    Mica and Mary are so nice to deal with. I enjoy visiting the Mothership since it's only 15 minutes away from me and looking at all the cool posters, and seemingly countless Alembic basses and guitars in the shop area. It's like an hour vacation from the real world. I look forward to hearing the SEREK bass. Wow, your SEREK sounds AMAZING. I love the mix of Alembic and a bolt on neck. I own a Yamaha MIJ P/J bass with Alembic pups and pre and it sounds great, too, but yours growls !

    Im fortunate enough to own a Serek metropolis 4 string with the Alembic activators. These basses are amazing. Everytime i play it im blown away, great balance, low action, stellar attention to detail. Jake builds amazing instruments. If you have the chance to buy his work, you'd be a fool not to!

    Love the look of these and so many great and very usable tones in this demo. Nice to have the Alembic sound without the $15k price tag too.

    Here’s a tip: Switch on the resonance boost, pluck a harmonic and turn the filter until the harmonic boosts. Then you know exactly where the peak is. You can use this method to give you a specific tone that suits what you’re playing. Resonant filters are awesome!

    Where to begin... I love the Les Paul Recording bass on the wall! I had one a few years back. I wish low-impedance pups were more common, they have great tone! I love the look of the metropolis bass! it Pairs nicely with the Alembic pups. Not gonna lie though, I really like the Serek pups. Great tone! I'll definitely be adding one to my collection soon. Thanks for the demo!

    Im so lusting for an Alembic right now, it's a pity that these Electronics are not more common. That's why I have now a Broughton Resonance Filter Equalizer on my board. That's basically the same with Resonance on LPF and HPF and even parametric mids. Everything sounds just better with that box.

    I have an Alembic Essence that was gifted to me by my wife in the 1990s, It is all maple, a high pass control,neck thru, etc, but does not have the gain control. I will say that the Serek Metropolis has a richer tone as well as tone variability.
