October of 76 is when I bought my Jazz bass, (that I still have). Gotta admit though, yours is WAY cooler though. I like the name of the cabs, HOMAID. I had one of those once, but my wife made me fire her. BA-DUMP-DAH!

LOL Good eyes, Ollie David, Congrats again. Oil her up nice. "Long, slow strokes. Paint, don't daub! And Don't Smoke!" Yep, I loved The Money Pit.

Nice looking bass and I hope you have another great 30 years with it. elwoodblue Senior Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 466 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, July 09, 2008 - 1:10 pm:    ...hit me...hit me, that song always brings a smile to me face, I didn't know there was an Alembic in it...cool.

That bass looks like my 77 S1's older sister (or brother as the case may be . . .) Nice wood, too. What kind is that? Lightly shaded vermillion? Lacewood? Maple? alembic76407 Senior Member Username: alembic76407 Post Number: 572 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, July 14, 2008 - 5:41 am:    they are Birdseye maple and koa you can do a search for Tornadic Thunder for the whole rig David T jorge_s Intermediate Member Username: jorge_s Post Number: 168 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Wednesday, July 16, 2008 - 6:48 am:    Indeed that is a sweet sweet bass.
