This is just awesome. I totally love Rogues (but only as 5 or 6-strings - the shape looks much better with a wider neck). Should you ponder upon selling it one day you know where to find me... ;-) (Not today though - rather next year or a bit later)

I am now the latest proud owner of this bass,which now resides in the UK

Mmm... is there anything wrong with that lovely Rogue? I've counted, judging by the posts, 4 owners already in only 3 and a half years...  
 
I own, of my 12 basses, only one Alembic so far (lovely Epic 96 5er), and up to now I think it will have to be pried out from my stiff, cold dead hands...

Shure there is something wrong...
 
It is not mine!
Not just a bass, this is an Alembic!

I know two of the past owners sold it to help fund killer customs and the last owner bought a saawingin' series 2.

I'm one of the former owners. I bought if from club member Charles when he built his killer custom series II. I sold it to Loch to fund the build of my custom Elan and I know Loch sold it when he bought his series II.
 
This bass is awesome! The signature electronics + the quick change bass and treble switches is a GREAT setup.  This is a super versatile bass and a fantastic playing and sounding guitar.

This Rogue is my 49th bass and first Alembic,and i am very pleased with it,the B string is excellent,the balance is great,the neck profile is spot on for me,and it has the full rich sound i was looking for.
I found the electronics quite easy to get on with,after the initial doubt...oh yes,and finally great workmanship.
I like to have 3 basses,and an Alembic will definately be in the stable.

There it is. Farufyno and I have found what's wrong with this bass, in both cases is the same thing. ;)

Congrats, have have an absolutely AWESOME bass!!!
 
As Toby said, the ONLY reason I got rid of it was because I was able to acquire a Series II 5 string. And while I love the sound of my Series II, I will have to admit that this bass feels a lot faster and is much lighter. I could play it for hours...
 
If I had unlimited resources, I would NEVER have sold it! There's just something about your first Alembic...

Hi,I have just noticed the B string tuner is different from the rest,have any previous owners noticed this.I see it was on the bass in 2006 as seen on crgaston pic of the headstock,so i am intrigued,i assume it has been changed along the way for some reason,...now i know its wrong it really annoys me...Ady

The B string tuner looks like the new style Gotoh ones, while the rest look like the old style.  The new style look more like classic Schallers keys, which I like much better than Gotoh's old style keys.  It'll cost ya four new ones or one old one to get a matched set.
 
I see the brass is finally polished.  The bass seems to have found its rightful owner.  Nice bass, enjoy!
