Alembic Series I (serial no. 74-A011)
1974
Alembic Inc.
This bass was bought secondhand by the Who's John Entwistle, who gravitated toward its bright, pianolike tone that did not sacrifice low end tones. It was his first instrument by Alembic, one of the earliest companies to specialize in high-end electric basses and known for beautifully crafted instruments that combine exotic woods with state-of-the-art active electronics. Entwistle used this bass extensively for touring in 1975. |
