I've finished recording bass parts for my band's debut album. I was fortunate to be able to use 2 borrowed Alembics, thanks to the kindness of my 2 friends. I used an Essence 5 and, on one song, an Epic 4. The sound of both of them got RAVE reviews from the sound engineer and the studio owner! BTW - it's one of the best and most renowned studios in Poland...  Here are some pics:  

 

 (the MarkBass head wasn't used)  And me, with both Alembics and my Malinek fretless :-)

  Oh yes, the album will feature some nice bass sounds (shame about the playing though, lol)!

Jarek,
Congratulations on the debut album!  Best of everything with the new release.

Thanks!
 
And well, it won't me a debut album for me (or for any of the band members for that matter) but a debut album for this particular band - and the most meticulously prepared album I've ever recorded.
 
Oh, and I wouldn't have been myself if I hadn't pictured the 2 beauties ;-)
 
Studio: The Essence
Studio: The Epic
Magic Artefacts
Epic Win
Liquid
The Conehead
Head to Head
The Essence of Alembic 1
The Essence of Alembic 2
The Hidden Flame
 
And yes - they do sound at least as beautiful as they look!

Congratulations Jarek.  I am sure it was your playing that got the rave reviews also.  I hope that everything goes well for you from now on.
