I'm playing mostly double bass and 5-string so this player has been in the closet. Weather-checked with honest player wear but big sound with long sustain. While I learn to post pics, is anyone interested in giving her a new home? |

It's getting crowded here. I exchanged emails with 365kit shortly after this thread was started and asked for more info/pics. He said that it will be coming soon! Michael |

I did too, but the serial number he gave me went with a whole 'nother bass, and had nothing to do with the instrument described here. |

Just curious, what # did he give you? Hopefully it is not a Fernandes. |

77763, but then thought it might be 77783. |

That seems that it would be in the right range. 77-763 or 783. |

A search of this site shows #77-763, and its a five string. Don't know about 77-783, I have not looked for it. I'd do my research before buying. You can type 783 into the search engine at the top of this page. |

What kind of wood is that? Koa? Are the body wings a solid piece or does it have front and back laminates? I'd also be curious about a price... Thanks, Charles |

I've got a search posted to get exact specs. Serial #77 783. The 8 is punched faintly and looked to be a 6 but it's not. The body has a mahogany core and front/back laminates. I'm not sure about the laminates - perhaps flamed walnut? I do remember Alembic replaced the fingerboard over 20 years ago and there is one replacement tuner. $3400 with case, cord and power supply. |

Drool... I wish I was in a position to grab this bass. Instead I'm just going to take deep breaths and chant over and over again, "Someday there will be another...". *sigh* -Jim |

Mica has posted further information about this bass on the serial numbers/history requests section of Owning an Alembic. Look under 77-783. |

Hello 365kit, I wonder if the bass is still available. Do you have more pics ( headstock front/back etc)? Thank you, Juergen |

Hello Scott, somehow we lost touch via email... Are you still interested in selling the bass(unless you sold it already)? Regards, Juergen |
