Notes

This bass has been in production for only 3 months. A few former employees from Alembic made these basses for Fernandes. When Alembic found out they wanted to go to court but Fernandes stopped production. That's why these basses are very rare. The electronics are the same as in the Alembic Series I basguitars. Shape and form are also the same. Even the body cavities are there!
