- Here are some more sounds you can get by tweaking the filters on the Alembic Stanley Clarke Signature model.
If you want to know how the filters work you can watch my "Signature Electronics explained" video.
• Alembic Bass Signature...
When I heard Stanley Clarke for the first time, I was blown away not only by his otherworldly technique and fretboard mastery but also by a tone that I had never heard before!!! Stanley Clarke revolutionized bass playing and Alembic revolutionized the electric bass!!! Outstanding demo!!!
I’m skeptical about many boutique basses but these are the real deal. Pure tone machines.
Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate these, brother! Well done, and it is appreciated!❤👍🏾
Alembic basses are special. I played a Rogue 5, back in 2000 and I loved it. Couldn't afford it, so I never got one. :(
I always wanted an Alembic, but trivial concerns like having money to buy food, pay utility bills, etc., always got in my way.
@JWC please keep the video's coming. As a old school bass player I go way back with Alembic's. As a recording studio owner I have over 50 basses and my Alembic Epic is one of my favorite out of them. Been meaning to get a Stanley Clarke Signature but a you know they are not cheap.
OHHhh Yeah !!!! I've been nothing but my Alembic lately and it's Alembic or nothing lately, The best tone, ever and easiest bass to play if you get one that fits your hand. Every Alembic is different since they are all handmade. Keep em coming !!! Even though I can hear mine, there's nothing like hearing someone else play one.
🤩🤩🤩WHAT AN OUTSTANDING BASS! A MILESTONE IT'S SELF IN THE BASS WORLD AND THERE'S SO MANY GOOD REASONS THAT IT'S BEEN CHOOSED BY A LOT OF THE GREATEST BASS PLAYERS IN HYSTORY! GREAT DEMO BRO, HAT'S OFF!😎😎😎
nothing like an Alembic!
I have a same model that I bought brand-new 12 years ago. but mine doesn't sound so distinctively different from one setting to the others. Maybe its the strings? now the neck pickup volume doesn't work well, so I need to have it serviced. Thank you anyway to showcase the best and most unique bass ever .( and I am a proud owner of one)
Perfect bass!!! Someday...
I've owned two of the 12-35mm. Not par-focal. Highly recommended. Also like the 14mm. Found the 25mm f/1.7 to be muddy and dull.
You’ve been playing the bass a long time! I can tell. :)
35 Years.
@@jwcbronski damn. It shows. :)
...erstaunlich, dass Dein Alembic trotz der Slinkys so "fett" klingt... ich glaub, ich brauche doch einen Alembic Signature - auch, wenn ich die Optik nach wie vor gewöhnungsbedürftig finde. Ich hoffe, Du bringst mehr Videos mit dem super Sound 😍👍 ...und falls Du den Bass mal nicht mehr brauchst, müssen wir reden 😶🌫😎
Ich würde sagen einige Einstellungen klingen "fett". Wenn man mit dem Filter die Mitten boosted und den Stegpickup favorisiert kann der Bass auch eher dünn klingen. Wenn man mit Band spielt merkt man dann daß das Fundament fehlt.
Great Bass. Would love to have one of those and just looked up the price, 16500€ in Germany…. Gulp. Well, I will go on enjoying my 1986 JayDee.
Sounds absolutely amazing. Just out of interest, is that particular bass standard 34" scale?
Short scale - 30.75
Really useful information provided. Much appreciated 👍.
Interested to know what strings you use and which gauge?
Thanks

Alembic bass is my dream, but so expensive for me....
How about the tone on return to forever Vulcan worlds
Compression, tape/valve saturation, maybe amp miking.
@@jwcbronski thank you I saw Stanley Clarke live and he could not duplicate this tone for this album so studio EQUIPMENT helping thank you
Where's the low end?
This is a direct recording with no additional equalization.
@@jwcbronski
$35K bass requires additional EQ?
I've recorded hundreds of times DI.
I go DI live and there is always low end..
@@RSTI191 This is not a 35K bass.
Okay, so you like 'just low end'. That's your preference. However, this bass, as you know, sounds just the way it should. Without turning all the treble down and the bass up.
@@mrpositronia
Okay so you just like playing video games.
Got much of a life do ya?
I can't post like this so Alembic is not for me. But def an interesting instrument. Thx.
eh........a Musicman smokes it for funk tone, a jazz bass smokes it for funk tone, I always wonder when the ''awesome'' tone will come from an Alembic......and am still waiting...my 1984 B.C. RICH mahogany neck through smokes this bass for tone....hands down.......
Put down the crack pipe.
Sounds like a $500 bass
Well you're not far off. I bought my Alembic brand new for $1,100. Now they want 10 times that. A $500 fender will give you more of a tone you are used to hearing so many people don't understand why someone would pay so much for this bass. But because Alembic makes all their electronics, they have a unique tone that many people like. The workmanship is really great though. I've had mine for 25 years and it plays perfectly. If you look the fact that the bass will essentially outlast you, maybe its not crazy spending so much for it.
Imbecile.
