Looks like a great deal on an Essence 4!
agreed. ya can't get a better neck-thru at that price. let's hope someone who'll play it buys it.
so sayeth the old yadda yadda yadda 👴
Is that the smallest bodied alembic bass., I've not seen one close up but it looks slimmer than an epic.
I seem to remember that an Essence lower body wing is borrowed from a Small Standard, and the upper half is elongated to offset the long-scale they were designed for.
*link doesn't work for me... could be on my end though.
The outlines at the Products > Basses (http://www.alembicguitars.net/prod/basses.html) page are all the same scale, so you can see how the body shapes compare size-wise.
^yep, thanks Adriaan.
Here's the verbiage I was remembering- http://alembicguitars.net/prod/essence.html

Someone bought the bass. So the link is empty.
