Alembic has definitely done these kinds here and there. jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3250 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Sunday, December 09, 2012 - 3:41 am:    There have been more of these on sale in the past in the uk. In fact jacko spotted a used one in guitarguitar which was previously sold by the same eBay seller. Great looking for someone wanting the alembic tone with a traditional look. I wonder if there is a precision style out there too.

Drooling. Right now. The best reason to want a Jazz Bass sound and NOT buy a Fender or any other clone (me myself, a Hamer and a Fernandes with Barts). So now there's no excuse for not having an "Alembic only" collection :P oggydoggy Advanced Member Username: oggydoggy Post Number: 224 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Monday, December 10, 2012 - 11:38 am:    Agreed. I play Alembic Basses exclusively. I think the design is a real nice tribute to Leo Fender, a man who made our love affair with the Bass possible. hifiguy Advanced Member Username: hifiguy Post Number: 354 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Monday, December 10, 2012 - 12:37 pm:    That spalted maple 4-banger is making me twitch and drool. Good thing it's in the UK.
