I clicked your link. Excellent tutorial. I've had a bass for 40 years ( a 1983 BC Rich NJ series) the last year I have played 5- 30 mins every day, this year I want to play at least 30 mins a day. I bought a cheap Harley Benton fretless so I am going to have a go at this song. Your tone is perfect, so smooth. Many thanks.
Thank you for for the feedback, I really appreciate it. And good luck with re acquainting yourself with your BC Rich bass. I just looked it up and it looks amazing! 😊 All the best to you sir!
I like this Alembic a lot. It plays like a dream and the build quality is fantastic, noticeably more solid and with top notch hardware compared to a Fender for instance. In terms of rareness I'm not entirely sure. I don't think there were that many built but prices still seem fairly reasonable for what they are, though they have appreciated slightly since I bought mine. Sound wise it may not be for everyone. It's quite an idiosyncratic (very woody) sound, definitely not the classic Jazz bass-style Pastorius sound. And yes John McVie did use an Alembic 🙂

Love the sound of that fretless

By the way, how do you enjoy the Alembic Fretless? Rare isn’t it? Alembic was used by John McVie in FleetwoodMac as well right?
