It will be my 12th electric bass, and my second Alembic. Three years ago I met an Epic, it seduced me. I'm still infatuated. I love the set neck sound and the B/T controls, but I soon came to realize that I wanted a neck through, with filter and Q to balance my Alembic chi. So for three years I have been researching, learning, searching, and waiting for the confluence of instrument and finances, and yesterday, I knew it immediately when I saw it. 1992 Europa, 5 string, redwood burl top, and my ideal for mono Alembic electronics, Vol, pan, Filter, Q, and B/T boost/cut switches. I don't know how I will sleep until it arrives safely. I'll breath deep, and say a little prayer. Peace, James

Beautiful bass, James! Congrats.

That's a great bass!!  Congrats!

Congrats! I love that redwood burl top.

Very cool. Congrats...

Congrats James, very nice instrument. I have often said, I just bought my last bass, and it really didn't turn out that way for me. I am still working on my sickness. Very nice choice that I am sure you will enjoy.

Thank you very much for buying this. My wife would've been very very upset. I have one request though if finances permit. Please send her in to upgrade the preamp to signature electronics and keep the bass & treble boost/cut switches. Get DOWN!

My declaration was more wishful thinking than reality. And we are not sick, we are simply passionate.
 
Signature electronics? Hmmmmmmm..........

Saw that one listed, a beauty offered at a very fair price.  Congrats!

Wow,what a beautiful bass.
Congrats

Awesome top, congrats!
 
Be sure to post a lot of pics in the showcase when she's in your hands ;-)

Nice Redwood Top!  
 
Someday I'll have one Alembic in Redwood, too... Love the look of it!

Man, it is a work of art and quality of royalty.  
 
If your bass was inside a Rose Royce, my eyes would be locked on the bass, and request a better car wood interior to match.

Beautiful in every aspect, but the last?

Heh, I bought my first last bass 2 basses ago... may you have many more last basses in your future!  Maybe a MK 5 and then a SII?
 
I was eying that beauty too.  Nice catch!
