Good morning bassers,
I'm new here and was just wondering "How many Alembic basses are here.
Add your bass to the total and lets see how many we can come up with.
I got the idea from a Telecaster forum last month.
I have 1, five-string Spoiler.

How about a Dragon's Wing ? (included "Custom" ?)
And I belive, the list must excludes "used to own". (double posted by current owner)

Here is my 6 basses:

'76 Series1 5str MSB
'77 Series1 5str LSB
'82 Series1 5str MSB (small standard body)
'83 Series1 5str MGB (Graphite neck, custom body)
'81 Distillate bass (Japan export model)
'89 20th Anniversary bass (Quilted maple)

PS, I didn't count the basses he "formerly" had, as they are no longer in his possesion.
EDIT: As I was posting, I guess everyone DOES want to include "former" basses/guitars.

Ken,
are you sure we should count "former' basses/guitars?
I'd much rather see a solid number like "currently own".

My opinion - start another thread/count on "formerly owned". If it gets included here, then some instruments could get counted twice or more!

If you're limiting to basses, have fun. If you're taking the obviously cooler, more intelligent approach, add the following:

Further,
Series I guitar;
Series I 12 string guitar
(Does an employee "shopnight" guitar count?)

On the top bass, the neck wood looks like maple. On the bottom bass, the neck wood looks different. Is it a different wood or is it an amber tint on maple?

Both are nice basses, that's for sure. What are the top woods?

I'd wager that the bass on the bottom is somewhat older and that the finish has yellowed-my '75 has taken on a similar tint.

Those are lovely basses, by the way.

Yes, both necks are maple / purpleheart. The top bass is a '78 refinished about two years ago, while the bottom one is a '77 refinished sometime in 2000 or 2001. You cought me off guard with the top woods, I'd have to look that up. The bottom one is Koa. Manfred, the previous owner put it up on showcase, you can actually see more photos of it here:

http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/2882.html?1044651173

Those photos were taken in 2002 and the neck was not yellow at all then. It is more obvious there that the neck is maple.

Granted that this is already inaccurate, I don't think Keavin, fmm or peter jonas contributions got added because the number of Series I basses did not go up. So I'll add in the 4 basses the discussed, plus my own Series I. Then I'll add my 5 string as a Custom, since the s/n has MKC in it. That brings us to 82 basses, 38 participants
