Would you look at the detail on this replica of Stanley Clarke's Series I Bass.

I'm amazed at the level and attention to detail the maker has gone to in order to represent so accurately this replica of such a legendary bass by a legendary musician.....!!!
 
HAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA HA
 
I think I've laughed myself a six pack......

I once got one of these that was supposed to be a close replica of Jerry's Wolf guitar, the forerunner of the current Alembic Further.  When I got it, it looked suspiciously like a Strat with a Wolf sticker slapped on!

...maybe if it had a couple gibson strings on it.
 
How can people feel right about such blasphemes?...oh that's right...this is earth.
 
Nice to be here with you folks : )

I wonder if they had the wrong prescription glasses on??
Okay maybe the hardware & pickups could be difficult to make but at least get the body shape right
It is crap, it really is!!

It looks like a Moonstone mated with and Alembic, and that this was their unholy spawn.  Certainly not the ugliest shaped guitar I have seen, but light years from a Stanley Clarke.

Well it says they have about 19 in stock.......  Looks like they're stuck with 19 of them now.
I like the Marcus bass too.  I didn't think he used a rosewood fretboard on his Jazz.....

Don't you recognize it?  It's one of those rare Alembics built under license by Danelectro.

That is so bad.  Shouldn't Alembic and Stanley be getting royalties from these people and licensing their right to make the replica?  That might help keep the junk that's completely inaccurate off the shelves.

Alembic should make a full-size replica of that replica...if nothing else it could be a good April(fools) featured custom...Tony

Someone gave me the Ace Frehely mini Les Paul and I was impressed with the detail on that one. It had the lightning bolt inlays as well.
 
The others I have seen were not so impressive but I would like the Silverburst Les Paul to go with my real one.
 
I still have to get the Jason Newsted action figure that comes with the Black Europa. That was done pretty well for a mini Alembic.
 
You know Alembic should do some limited runs of its instruments in mini form for the club I would buy one of each.

I wish they would make some brooch pins, they would sell very well

How do they dare to describe it with words such as stunning and meticulous details ??? I suppose that this is the sort of stuff that shows us how special our Alembics are.... No one can reproduce them!
