 ALEMBIC | | ELECTRIC BASS | All models have through-body maple, or maple/mahogany laminate neck construction, dual truss rods, 24-fret ebony fingerboard with pearl oval inlay (unless otherwise listed), adjustable brass saddles/bridge/tailpiece/nut (these items may be chrome or gold plated), active electronics, ebony fingerboard and clear gloss finish.
A number of the earlier instruments were custom ordered, so there are variations that may be found that are not standard items. The Omega Cut refers to the stylish rounded cut in the lower bout sometimes found on Series I and II models - it's a custom option. A Brown Bass (MSR $8,900) and a Spyder Limited Edition Bass (MSR $13,600, $14,900 for an eight-string) were introduced in 2006, but there is no information on them yet. In 2007, the Dragon Wing (MSR $9,600, $10,400 for a five-string) and Dragon Wing Deluxe (MSR $12,900, $13,700 for a five-string) were introduced, but there is no information on them either. | | 20TH ANNIVERSARY | | - slightly offset double cutaway body with Omega Cut on lower bout, maple core Quilted maple top and back with Purpleheart accents or walnut core/Burl walnut top and back with vermilion accents, through-body maple/purpleheart laminated neck, 24-fret ebony fingerboard with oval inlays, 4-on-a-side tuners, brass hardware, 2 Alembic AXY pickups, 2 volume/2 filter (with q switch) controls, 4-position selector switch, mono/stereo switch, active electronics, available in Natural finish, mfg. 1989 only. |
