The weight can vary significantly depending on the woods used in the construction. But my '77 weighs around nine pounds and is about 15 inches wide. | ||

Also depends on the body shape and (perhaps less) the scale length. Is your question about the "typical" standard (full size) point or omega body style or a small standard (think "Stanley Clarke") body? | ||

My '75 standard point long scale with a maple body and Lacewood top weighs in at a solid 11 or 12 pounds, depending on the scale. | ||

First this would be a question for Mica, and secondly the weight and width of an Alembic Series One would be different depending on the body style (cut), wood density, and the wood combinations. I am sure if you gave her the serial numbers to the said 1977 bass in question, she would have a production data on those characteristics you request. The Alembics company, ship basses on a daily bases therefore, I am sure this would be a fairly easy answer. You might just find other and more interesting things about the 1977 bass too. Good luck Paul. | ||

I sent this response (it was the first response posted after your question) but somehow my post got deleted? Anyway, I posted it again. Good luck on the 1977 series one. | ||
