The Alembic Stanley Clarke Deluxe - Coco Bolo is an extraordinary expression of boutique instrument craftsmanship, designed for players who demand both sonic depth and visual elegance.
Its Coco Bolo top and back immediately draw the eye with rich, flowing grain patterns that feel almost sculpted by nature itself. The continuous wood backplates maintain a seamless organic aesthetic, while the Flame Maple core and five-piece Maple neck with Purpleheart laminates provide a rock-solid foundation that enhances sustain, clarity, and long-term stability.
The design is refined in every detail. A beveled front and back peghead adds a subtle sculptural touch, while the ebony fingerboard delivers a smooth, fast playing surface. Abalone oval inlays shimmer with understated luxury, and side-mounted red LEDs bring a striking modern glow that enhances stage visibility and presence.
At its core, this instrument is powered by signature Alembic electronics. Dual Alembic AXY pickups capture every nuance with exceptional accuracy, while the comprehensive control set, including volume, blend, filters, and Q-switches for both bass and treble pickups, offers a vast and highly responsive tonal palette. An LED on and off switch adds another layer of functional artistry.
Premium hardware completes the experience. Alembic Gotoh gold tuning machines ensure precise and stable tuning, while solid brass hardware and gold straplocks reinforce both durability and resonance transfer. Every component feels intentional and engineered for performance.
With a comfortable 30.75 inch short scale length and a 1.5 inch nut width, the instrument offers effortless playability and fluid response. Despite its luxurious build, it remains surprisingly balanced at 10 pounds, making it suitable for extended performance. It is delivered in a protective hard case, ready for stage or studio.
The Coco Bolo Stanley Clarke Deluxe is not just a bass guitar. It is a refined instrument that blends art, engineering, and expressive freedom into a single cohesive voice.
