Formerly owned by Steve Humphries. I'm cleaning it and tuning it up, getting it ready for some serious jamming and playing. Here's what I know: 4 string w/ pearl inlays Birds Eye Maple top and back Mahogany body 5 piece neck-thru not sure of the finish, looks like lacquer(?) any other details you can provide would be very much appreciated. I'm creating a page to document its history.

The Bass is ready for playing. I'm still working on a tribute page for Steve and his legacy. Cheers! afrobeat_fool Senior Member Username: afrobeat_fool Post Number: 419 Registered: 7-2009 Posted on Monday, January 30, 2012 - 5:54 pm:    Nick Haas and I get together now and then. We have 7 or 8 Alembic's between us. Let me know when you have some time and lets set up a session. We both have decent places to play at. It would be a pleasure to meet you and get another look at your bass. I saw and played it at the factory in Cali over the holidays. I also bought the spare cable from Alicia last week. It's good of you to set up a tribute page for Steve. I am sure Alicia appreciates it.
