Great bass!!  My guess is that the extra switch may be a mono/stereo switch for the 1/4 jack.

Hi Dave ,  
 
Is this switch common on series 2 ? For me it's ok , i'm glad to have it , but i thought it was there only if you ask it !?
 
Anyway , this won't change a thing to what i think : alembic's are sincerely and more than probably the most beautiful and sounding instruments ( basses ) i've heard...in one word the best ! Iknow there are plenty other brands that are also very good , so let's just say it's a matter of taste...even if i think they 're the best anyway !!! yeah !!!

Alain; I'm thinking that you are right, that it's an option and not standard.

Never been a big fan of sunburst finishes over  beautiful wood but MY GOD! Alembic certainly has a way of changing a persons mind with such artistry and style!!!

Hi Mickael ,  
 
Thank's ...i was wondering how it would look , but the result is there : gorgeous !  
 
 
Hi Dave ,  
 
Well , i don't remember i 've asked for that , but i'm happy to have it...will i hear a strong difference in my sound if i don't use sound effects ?  
 
ALAIN

Hi Mica ,  
 
Just for information , i think an entire page of this thread with several pics of my bass with the wineburst colour has disapeared ...? Or my computer goes wrong ...anyway , if it's normal , could it be possible for you to send them back to me on my personal mail address ?
 
Thank's a lot .

Alain,
 
Look at the top of the page: a moderator must have archived the messages you're referring to. There are currently two archives for this thread, and the second one probably holds the pictures you're looking for.

Hi Adriaan ,  
 
You're correct , i've been so many times on it ...i don't see 'em anymore...probably due to the  arrival of my bass next week !!!!!!
 
 
Thanks  
 
ALAIN

Rather than by a moderator, it was probably automatically archived by the software.

Hi Alain, is that your bass in the group picture on the website of Edwin's store (new arrivals)?  
I'm going to check out his new Alembic stock (15!) a.s.a.p. that's for sure!

Hi Everyone ,  
 
Great place to be this next saturday : at edwin's shop ( holland ) : i'll go and pick up my bass ...sure going to be a delightful moment !  
 
ALAIN

Alain, Congrats!!!!!!
 
When I visited the factory last month, your bass was on the bench in rub-out...... Seeing the pics of it complete w/ electronics, hardware, strings, etc etc.. is a sight to behold!!!!! I am extremely happy for you & hope that this beauty brings you a lifetime of enjoyment...
