Description
Alembic is a well-known high end instrument manufacturer based in the United States, that focuses in producing excellent quality hand-made instruments with the best material and tones, and it has attracted the great Stanley Clarke to collaborate with Alembic, hence the Stanley Clarke Signature SC4 was created. It features a multi-ply Walnut top/back, maple/mahogany/maple sandwich body construction, which gives the bass an incredible look and complex tonal characteristics. It features a 24-fret Ebony fretboard and maple/walnut neck, which the ebony delivers a smooth and bright tone and the neck wood configuration gives the bass a mixture of warmth and brightness. For electronics, it is equipped with 2 original Alembic AXY pickups and pre-amp, which provides lots of tonal possibilities and headroom.
This bass is used and it is in very good condition. There are some cleaning marks, scratches and some minor nicks on the top of the body. There are also some scratches and nicks on the side and back of the body, due to normal usage. There are some general dullness on the finish due to its age. The electronic plate has a fair few scratches. There is a small nick on the neck, and the condition of the fretboard is great. There are 70% of frets remaining. There are two chips on the bottom of the headstock, and one on the top of the headstock. However, the chips do not cause structural damage to the headstock, and the cause of the chip is likely to be due to contact with a wall hanger. There are also some minor dings on the headstock. The gold finish on the tuning keys have oxidised a bit due to its age, which is understandable. The tailpiece has also oxidised a fair bit due to its age. The electronics are working normally, and the truss rod functions in both direction. This bass comes with a generic hardshell case and a certificate of authenticity.
