Okay...the search engine works...*slaps forehead*...found this post. Posted on Wednesday, March 09, 2005 - 5:14 pm: Mica told me that Alembic built about 6 instruments for Greg Lake. One was a series guitar, small standard, which I've had the pleasure to play here at Alembic, with cool inlays; it does not belong to Mr.Lake anymore. Checking some records I came up with the numbers for 3 basses (all series, of course). First one I found was 77-687. Long scale 4 string Zebrawood top & back cherry core maple/purpleheart neck purplehart fretboard Mother of pearl oval inlays Second one: 78-984 No file on this one, the original work board lists it as 'special custom' & that's all I have other than it was a long scale. The third is the one Entwistle ended up with: 79-1300 Long scale 8 string bass Scorpion body shape Zebrawood top & back mahogany core graphite neck pirate inlays completed 7/24/79 That's all I could find Valentino |
