Anybody have any info on it? (especially after seeing in a museum Jack's Guild with the quickly added electronics after his main Guild was stolen) I know the final conversion was with Series II electronics and the neck was fixed (Message edited by mica on July 17, 2015) lidon2001 Senior Member Username: lidon2001 Post Number: 552 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Friday, July 17, 2015 - 3:11 pm:    There's a thread about it in the Artist section of the Showcase. edwardofhuncote Senior Member Username: edwardofhuncote Post Number: 460 Registered: 6-2014 Posted on Friday, July 17, 2015 - 3:54 pm:    I'm pretty sure I read on here, the owner of Alembic #1 wishes to remain anonymous. Here's a longer thread on the bass for you... http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/2565.html?1417971005 mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 8573 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, July 17, 2015 - 6:00 pm:    I edited your message because regardless of the bass' current location, it's the current owner's wish to remain private. Thank you for respecting his wishes. hifiguy Senior Member Username: hifiguy Post Number: 449 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, July 17, 2015 - 6:05 pm:    It would be exceedingly coolif he could be persuaded to put it on carefully secured display for a while. Why not at the Mothership? This is perhaps the most significant bass guitar of the last 50 years, and what better place to do so?
