    Nice playing! I’ve just purchased a series 1 like this,it should arrive in a couple of days.I was hesitant for a while as I thought the pickup selector would get in the way for slap playing but you don’t seem to be struggling with it here

    Do these vintage Alembics balance well when playing seated without a strap? Too bad they have the pickup so close to the neck. But it didn't seem to bother Mark King...😀

  • @marcusbellbass1375
    @marcusbellbass1375Ай бұрын

    His main Alembics were the Series 2 basses which always had the pickup selector with the rest of the electronics, also on this series 1 he had the pickup selector moved 👌🏼… It does balance well, being a 32” scale bass with most of the weight in the body, and the sound is to die for! I have a 1991 Series 2 Alembic in cocobolo that I’m desperately hoping to get some videos up of soon

    @@marcusbellbass1375 ok thanks. I just bought an Alembic Spoiler and I am hoping to get a series 1 or 2 one day. But the little lower horn worries me a bit as far as balance is concerned since I play seated at home. It might slide away from your leg easily because of the small horn? I am used to Wal basses, but love Alembic too. Also the small space between neck pickup and neck worries me a bit for slapping with three or four fingers as I do a lot (Mark King never used three finger slapping as far as I know). On the Spoiler that is possible but a lot Alembics have even less space there.
