Customer Support : No Opinion
Clearly the person who did the review of this bass before me is a FUCKING jerkface and does not know what he is talking about.alembic is a family owned business. care and support is one of their most important and distinctive features.
anyways the person who wrote the last review is obviously really IGNORANT FOOL.

Overall Rating : 10
alembic are the best!
THERE IS no other bass that comes close to it!
i feel sorry for the guy who wrote the last review.how IGNORANT and STUPID people can be! What a waste!

Features : 5
USA Made in 1998. 5 string fretless, body similar to 3/4 size Series II, mutant walnut top, ebony board, brass nut, etc. Two active p/u's, bass, treble boost/cut and Q toggle. Pots are volume, pan and Q. Neck-through. No case.

Sound : 5
Nice full sound with emphasis on the low-register.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 2
Good action, even tone. Well-made instrument. Weighs a ton and neck dives like a hungry pelican, however. Your shoulder will ache if you hold this log all night.

Reliability/Durability : 5
Seems OK. Would take a backup, however.

Customer Support : 1
The absolute worst. Weasels who lie and do nothing for you. I've never enountered worst customer service. These people suck, plain and simple!

Overall Rating : 3
Pretty good fretless 5 but way over-priced. Alembics are, in general, ridiculously over-priced for what they offer. I'd never buy another.
