Congratulations and welcome! Yes, pictures please. Mica should be able to track down whateveer is available in their paper files. Give it a little time. She'll modify the title of this thread with an "X" when she finds your bass' build sheet. Mike |

I love these early Alembics. This on looks to be in real good shape too. Cograts Chris. On a side note the first Alembic I'd ever seen was in 1977, a cat named Chris owned it. |

That is a real nice one! That is the type of bass for me! It looks to be in terrific shape too. Did you get it with a silver or blue power supply? Michael |

Congrats Chris ! I found it on "Guitar Center's Vintage Collection" at July 2005. I got my 76' MSB 5strings at that time. Please call me, if you want to deal it in the future. Eiji |

Hi Chris, I found the details about your bass. There is only the 3x5 index card with some scant record of the construction, and we haven't seen it here since. Anyway, here's what I know: top and back: California Walnut core: Birch neck: Walnut and Maple, 30.75" short scale fingerboard: Ebony with Abalone inlays peghead veneers: Walnut originally made for: LD Heater, OR birthday: not recorded There is one previous registered owner in CA from 1991. There's no other information to share. But I've added the photos from this page to the file. |
