I purchased this bass in 1983 or 1984. Pretty sure I am the 2nd owner. Looking for the build sheet, history & any other information including wood type. This bass has not been modified or required any repairs since I have owned it. It has seen hardly any playing time and is in really great condition. Thanks for looking, geo. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/56v2jit07ku2gcg/ySXaodcpE- | ||

Nice Distillate! I have a fondness for these, as my first Alembic was a Distillate (which I still have and enjoy very much!). That top looks like Macassar ebony to me; I'm sure others will chime in on this one. Enjoy your bass, and Happy Holidays to you! | ||
