Playability

The bass plays exceptionally well with low action and the piano-like clarity Alembics equipped with Series electronics are known for. The warmth provided by the mahogany combined with the rich fundamental extensions offered by the singular ebony neck lam cannot be overstated. Electronics function perfectly and the instrument has seen minimal use.
