That was about the best demo for ANY Alembic I've ever heard. You work that Bass like it's an extension of your own being. Beyond competent playing. I've been playing my Jazz Bass for about 7 years and have been looking at these...and have been trying to justify in my mind how I *need* a 4th Bass. Damn near sold me tonight....
Thank u Mr. Long for being a blessing to bass players like myself who too this day is still learning my bass but you give so much good and helpful info that it keeps striving to be better God bless you and your family and happy new year keep it going 😊
Happy New Year to you Johnny - and your Queen. Been watching you since you had like 300 subscribers... thanks for sharing your life with us bass players. Keep going!
All the love my bass brother, but I gotta say that this bass sounded better with its original preamp. Sounds great now, but the original guts rang my bell. Peace✌️
@@LONGCASTLE777 the natural wood one on the top right is a Fodera Imperial ? Not the blue one on the left ? Being honest I've never run into a Fodera I really loved or wanted before. Beautiful bass. I'm guessing it's a vintage or earlier made model ? Thanks for responding. All the best
I swear by Alembic, and I own several, but whoever removed the original pre-Amp is stupid! It’s robbing that bass of its True Tone’s, and it’s the most important part of an Alembic. Their electronics is where they started when they were working for the Greatful Dead and built their wall of sound. Then they started building pre amps and putting them in Gibsons.
@@LONGCASTLE777 It's been a while since I visited their website. I have a late 90's model Europa. I had the electronics replaced by Mr. Wickersham (founder of Alembic) himself. A few years later those electronics started acting up again. I was leary about replacing the electronics because I thought it would diminish the value of the instrument if I wanted to sell it.
The baddest of the baddest! Salute 🫡

Happy new year brother Johnny to you and the Queen, yes Hootie as well! Luv ya my amazing brother! 🙏 such a beautiful bass!! 😍
that's such a lovely bass, i really dig the look
how low do u usually set your string
Happy New Year Johnny ! That bass wants to go to church.
Alembic, Brubaker, US Masters, RITTER & Ken Smith Basses are some of the best Basses I have played. Hands down. They essentially play themselves...
Happy New Year!
I have no idea where you are, but I'd love to provide you some consultation on how to get an output from your amp, into the audio for the video.
Feliz año nuevo brother saludos from Mexico city God bless you a lot
If you need an Alembic preamp, just ask me. Sad to see an Alembic without the amazing original preamp. Don't get no betta!
If u got one send it to me
Beautiful bass Johnny! My dream is to someday score a rogue 4.....
Go ahead Stanley Clark. It’s beautiful, but I like the Music Man sound.
Exactly what I was thinking lol
All the love my bass brother, but I gotta say that this bass sounded better with its original preamp. Sounds great now, but the original guts rang my bell. Peace✌️

Beautiful bass!

😂yeap
Could you give us the model of the New Tone Monster pre amp? Happy New Year to you and the fam!
SEB
Ooooh, Mr. Johnny is READY today!!! What else can be said about those threads?
Do you have a endorsement deal will Tone Monster? You put that in all the basses.
Did say you are 'just chilling and relaxing'? Is there such a state of being for you, Dear Johnny? 😃
😅 it is, I will be doing alot of this in the future...yet still loving life😊
What's that awesome looking bass in the backround ?
Fodera Imperial

New Christmas pajamas?
" I'm not that fast ..." , damn, dunno what fast means to you sir!
Can't hear all those notes you are playin. Turn that amp up please!!!! Rock on, love Alembic !!!!!!
Info on that gig bag please.
Levy
Happy new year bro 😎
Just wish Alembic was just lights
Lighter Oopps lol
Certainly not a Fodera that Victor Wooten plays 🎶🎵🎶🎵☮️☯️
I'm going out on a limb, I don't think alembic is going to out do the preamp that you installed for the money
Why not put another Alembic preamp in it?
Have u priced an Alembic preamp lately
If it was my only bass I would.....yet...I really love to play so buying another Alembic preamp is like buying another bass....lol...somewhat😅
