I find the Alembic short scale with the Bigsby (?) (lower right) very interesting. sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 2901 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Friday, May 10, 2013 - 3:32 pm:    What a great pic ! senmen Senior Member Username: senmen Post Number: 1110 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Saturday, May 11, 2013 - 5:17 am:    But in no way complete as he has sold basses permanently over the years. As for the Bigsby one, this is currently owned by one of the forum members....(not me..)

At that time he had a warehouse (in the proverbial "undisclosed location") filled with instruments - things like everything Fender made in '6?, in Candy Apple Red, then again in Sunburst......He was one of the great collectors. This pic's probably just some of what he kept at home to play.
