Ciao a tutti,
 
has been a while since I posted on here...
 
I have always been regretting having sold my MK Sig Deluxe a couple of years ago so now I am in the market for a Series I or II 4-string.
 
Here is my email address: righes@libero.it
 
Let me know, cheers!

Hi there,
 
bought the Series 1 last year in  October, superb bass!  
I emailed Mica to get a copy of the spec sheet, but no reply...do I need to insist? If so what do you suggest?
 
Thanks!
 
Stefano

Hello, Mica some replies for Italian Alembician people ??
 
Grazie mile

Stefano -
If you haven't done so already, I would recommend that you go here:
 
and post the serial number of your bass there. In her spare time Mica updates these on a somewhat regular basis, providing all the build specs for your bass.

Thanks for the input guys!

After just missing out on a Series I Europa recently, I'm now on the look out for a pre-loved Series I or II bass preferably located in the UK or mainland Europe but elsewhere is also of interest if it is the right bass.   I'm looking specifically for a 5 string Europa or Elan body shape in natural wood not bold paint.  An alternative option is a Short Scale small standard body shape Series I in 4 string, darker woods only. Ideally with a master volume.  I'm really looking for fairly recent models in spectacular condition, not vintage models.  I'm not in a big hurry at all so can wait,  years :-), for the right one to come along but when it does I sadly be off loading my black Europa and possibly my purple Elan with Europa Electronics if i get the short scale bass as I doubt if they would get much of a look in.  Thanks in advance, I know you will keep your eyes open for me. :-)  Ideal top woods would be. Coco bolo, Jarrah Burl, Burl walnut, Madagascar Ebony,   Here are some woods Ive liked to kind of give you an idea.  ( The one in the middle is the one I was just too slow off the mark for. )

Curiously you do not speak of blackwood... strange...

I have never heard of an alembic in blackwood except yours so I don't expect to find any used ones about.  
But yes that would also be acceptable to me.  
 
Thanks PierreYves

for Christmas by example, good acceptable present LOL !!

I was inspired by Pierre-Yves' beautiful blackwood bass, and am having a series baritone guitar made in blackwood. Hopefully we'll get some pictures going soon, whenever they get around to actually cutting wood

Bump, still looking.

Hey guys I saw this one up for sale:
 
http://www.musikmachen.de/Kleinanzeigen/Gebrauchtmarkt/Alembic-Serie-I-Shortscale-Graphit-Hals-stereo
 
I dont know this seller, but looks to be a nice, rare alembic for a fair price over here in Europe. If you need any help with translation just let me know.

Yeah it looks a nice bass and a rare graphite neck too. I tried google translation but from the wording it is confusion as to whether the pickups are series I or the humcancelling ones. For the age of the bass, the gold lettering looks too new so I wonder if the original pickups have been changed.

Seems as if it has AXYs or Fatboys, but he says the original single coils are included in the sale too.
