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? 2400wattman Intermediate Member Username: 2400wattman Post Number: 189 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Tuesday, June 27, 2006 - 3:53 pm:    Uh, I think you're going to get a LOT OF RESPONSES to this one. lot's of short scale series fans here. phylo Junior Username: phylo Post Number: 19 Registered: 10-2005 Posted on Tuesday, June 27, 2006 - 4:19 pm:    I sure am.

Scott could you send me some pictures? Thank´s Ricardo brianm Junior Username: brianm Post Number: 33 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Tuesday, July 11, 2006 - 9:50 am:    I'm very interested. How much do you want for your bass? Please send me some pics. dela217 Senior Member Username: dela217 Post Number: 688 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, July 11, 2006 - 10:31 am:    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 gtrguy Member Username: gtrguy Post Number: 61 Registered: 9-2004 Posted on Tuesday, July 11, 2006 - 1:13 pm:    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. dela217 Senior Member Username: dela217 Post Number: 689 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, July 12, 2006 - 6:18 am:    Just curious, what # did he give you? Hopefully it is not a Fernandes. gtrguy Member Username: gtrguy Post Number: 62 Registered: 9-2004 Posted on Wednesday, July 12, 2006 - 8:32 am:    77763, but then thought it might be 77783. dela217 Senior Member Username: dela217 Post Number: 690 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, July 12, 2006 - 8:49 am:    That seems that it would be in the right range. 77-763 or 783. gtrguy Member Username: gtrguy Post Number: 63 Registered: 9-2004 Posted on Wednesday, July 12, 2006 - 11:57 am:    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. 365kit New Username: 365kit Post Number: 2 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Thursday, September 28, 2006 - 3:47 pm:    Here are some pics of the bass: (Message edited by davehouck on October 01, 2006) room037 Intermediate Member Username: room037 Post Number: 129 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Thursday, September 28, 2006 - 3:54 pm:    I am owner of 77-763 5 string bass. Maybe the bass is 77-783. I am interested too! But I am too late (T_T) Eiji kungfusheriff Senior Member Username: kungfusheriff Post Number: 548 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Thursday, September 28, 2006 - 6:37 pm:    Veeeery nice, Scott. Got an asking price in mind? KFS crgaston Advanced Member Username: crgaston Post Number: 306 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Friday, September 29, 2006 - 8:08 am:    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 365kit New Username: 365kit Post Number: 4 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Friday, September 29, 2006 - 8:33 am:    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. 365kit New Username: 365kit Post Number: 5 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Thursday, November 16, 2006 - 9:20 am:    Price reduced to $2900. bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 1389 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Thursday, November 16, 2006 - 6:26 pm:    Great looking top on that one. lothartu Intermediate Member Username: lothartu Post Number: 192 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Friday, November 17, 2006 - 8:01 am:    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 easszy New Username: easszy Post Number: 8 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Saturday, November 18, 2006 - 11:57 am:    I sent you an email. If you don't receive it respond in another way. 365kit New Username: 365kit Post Number: 6 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Monday, November 20, 2006 - 5:37 pm:    Mica has posted further information about this bass on the serial numbers/history requests section of Owning an Alembic. Look under 77-783. attmann New Username: attmann Post Number: 8 Registered: 4-2006 Posted on Thursday, November 23, 2006 - 7:34 am:    Hello 365kit, I wonder if the bass is still available. Do you have more pics ( headstock front/back etc)? Thank you, Juergen attmann New Username: attmann Post Number: 9 Registered: 4-2006 Posted on Friday, December 01, 2006 - 5:13 pm:    Hello Scott, somehow we lost touch via email... Are you still interested in selling the bass(unless you sold it already)? Regards, Juergen
