3 Alembics fs at GC Atlantic City, NJ
Just search used gear at their web site
It's down to one epic
The 92 Essence they had is now in Tucson. Picking up tomorrow.
The Essence looked like a nice one!
Got it. needs some work. I am bring to guitar tech tomorrow. I think they may have tried bypassing the LPF, so there is a ground issue. Other than that, truss adjustment and she may be OK. I'll keep you posted.
Guitar Center does have a good return policy, BTW. I think it is something like you have 45 days after purchase.
Hey Mark, welcome. Something that everyone around here likes are pics.
How about treating us to a couple. I missed the GC posting.
Was the Essence returned? I see an ad for it or one that looks like it back up at Guitar Center.
The policy for "vintage" instruments is 2 days.
I bought the bass and set it up, but there was something funky with the LPF. There was a constant buzz and my guitar tech couldn't find the ground issue. He confirmed that someone(other than Alembic) was in there and resoldered. It was missing the ferrite bead. I bought one from my local electronics supply store, but no luck.
I didn't want to invest more money than I need to make the bass a reasonable purchase. Given the 2 day return gave me less time to diagnose, that is what I did. Returned.
