Mainly interested in what kind of top wood this bass has, but any information would be helpful and fun! Thanks, Steve artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1577 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Friday, August 26, 2011 - 12:40 pm:    Steve, Congrats on your new acquisition! While you're waiting for the official look-up. Take a look at the wood samples at the Alembic production web site. Post pictures too. Play it Healthy!

After looking at those, it seems likely that mine is flame walnut, but not positive. Finest bass I've ever owned! cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 1056 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, August 26, 2011 - 7:00 pm:    Let us see it, Steve; we love playing Guess The Top Wood!

Whatever it is, it's a gorgeous top.
