Here is my Alembic EVH Signature Coco Bolo 5 string. Build in 1996.(http://club.alembicguitars.net/Images/411/2879.jpg)
KEI-KNAPPE BAS MAN!
High Manfred,
you living in Holland, me in Belgium and both Alembic players on an instrument from the same year (See Bonnie at the Series department). So I guess we will once meet in the same store in Hilversum ;-)
Two questions:
- is that the standard body-style for the EVH? I never knew they were made with the longer upper horn.
- I see a XLR-type connection???? So I guess your bass has an external power supply? I never realised that that was an option with non-series basses. So your bass don't have a standard jack or is it on the side?
Altogether I repeat my first line:
ONE-HELL-UF-A-NICE-BASS-MAN
Paul
PS: and professionally spoken: nice picture.
STOMMERIK
To myself.
All the answers were on the Swap-department. I didn't realise the bass was for sale!
Anyway, you've met Jan already so that makes three of us joining into that store!
I'm unfortunatley unfortunate so I hope you'll find a buyer on E-bay.

Hi Paul,
Stommerik? Ha ha. Thanks. Yes, that makes three of us, but there's another one Duncan Muller (Muller1007). So that makes four. Yeah, the army is growing. Standard body style? Edwin? Depends on the night before I guess. The upper horn has something from the Rogue. About the picture. Just a lucky shot. I took a digital camera but it was already late, I even couldn't see the bass through the lens. The light you see near the nut looks professional but actually it is my X-mass tree. How simple can it be. The only external sopwer supply is me. For the rest 5 9V batteries. 4 for the leds, 1 for electronics. You won't believe how many e-mail messages I received during the last three days. It's almost a fulltime job to answer everything. Inclusing the technical specs. I've said it before, it's hard to part with after all the messages I receive. But it's also fun to see how many people are interested and how kind all Alembic lovers are.
Maybe we will meet someday in Hilversum. Even though I don't get there very often. I'm always looking for old stuff except my amps and cabinets. You know, old analog effect pedals and so on. Now I had the chance to buy this series I small body from 1977. I've been searching for the right one for almost 15 years. Got it.
Talk to you later,
Take care,
Manfred
