Since the 1970s, ALEMBIC has reigned supreme in electric bass...
The ALEMBIC has been used by giants of the bass world such as Stanley Clarke, John Paul Jones, John Entwistle, and Mark King....
///////////////////////////////////

1978 Alembic SSB (short scale bass) SERIES 1
The top back is made of koa, the center is made of Honduran mahogany, and the top, center, and back are made of brownish wood, reminiscent of the "Brown Bass" loved by Stanley Clarke. Zebrawood is used for the veneer on the front and back of the head.

The neck is made of the traditional alembic maple purple heart, the 5-piece fingerboard is made of ebony, and mother-of-pearl is used for position markers.
The pegs are SCHALLER M4 chrome, and the head logo is Cyril Bar, giving a cool impression.
The pickup covers have some age-appropriate marks, but there is no operational damage. There are many play marks on the body (especially the large one near the 4th string pickup), and the entire body has been oversprayed to protect the wood. There is a brass plate engraved Thomas P. Piscione on the bottom of the tailpiece. (First owner?).

Alembic instruments already had a full-range sound design at that time, which was groundbreaking because of its phenomenally wide range of sound compared to existing electric guitars. The wide range of the Series I circuit also allows the hollowbody to reproduce the unique sound of this instrument.
The airiness of the hollowbody, which sets it apart from the solid bodies of the Signature and other models, is the privilege of only the top model. Only the electrical components, which have a completely different design concept from other brands, can reproduce 100% of the hollowbody sound.

The wide variety of filter controls, which can be adjusted to match the range of existing electric guitars and basses, is the essence of the variety of sounds available in an Alembic instrument.

The ALEmbic is a masterpiece in the history of electric basses, and we invite you to try one for yourself.

Includes external hard case, power supply, and special cable.

1978年製 アレンビック SSB(ショートスケールベース)SERIES 1
トップバックにはコア、センターにはホンジュラスマホガニーを使用し、トップ/センター/バックに褐色系の木材を使用した、あのStanley Clarke が愛した「BROWN BASS」を想わせる1本です。ヘッドの表裏のベニアにはあえてゼブラウッドが使用されているのが特徴。

ネックはアレンビック伝統のメイプルパープルハートの5ピース指板はエボニー、そしてポジションマーカーにはマザーオブパールを使用。
ペグはSCHALLER M4 クローム、ヘッドロゴにはシリルバーが使用されクールな印象を与えます。
ピックアップカバーの演奏痕は年相応にありますが動作的なダメージはありません。ボディには多くの演奏痕が見られ(特に4弦側ピックアップそばに大きな演奏痕)木部を保護するために全体的にオーバースプレーが施されています。4弦側のホーン部にストラップピンを一度取り付けた跡が見られます。テールピース下部にはブラスのプレートに Thomas P. Piscione と彫られています。(ファーストオーナーでしょうか?)

アレンビック社の楽器は当時から既にフルレンジでのサウンドデザインが行われており、既存のエレクトリックギターと比較すると驚異的に広いレンジのサウンドは画期的なものでした。またこのレンジの広い Series Iサーキットが、ホロウボディである当機独特のサウンドを再生することができます。
シグネーチャーや他のモデルのソリッドボディとは一線を画す、ホロウボディの空気感はトップモデルだけの特権。他ブランドとは設計思想の全く異なる電装関連だけが、このホロウボディの鳴りを100%再現する事ができます。

また既存のエレクトリックギターやベースのレンジに寄せることも可能な多彩なフィルターコントロールがアレンビック製楽器のサウンドバラエティの多さであり真骨頂ともいえます。。。

エレクトリックベースの歴史に刻まれる名器アレンビックを一度手にしてみてください。
