It is in mint condition and includes the OEM hard shell case. Woods are coco bolo top and back, mahogany body with maple laminates and maple and purpleheart neck. Headstock is coco bolo top and bottom. Extras are the red LED side-markers and the omega tail. I'm looking for a SC model. Thanks. 57basstra Senior Member Username: 57basstra Post Number: 607 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Sunday, April 22, 2007 - 7:26 pm:    Beautiful instrument! Welcome to the Club, John. drr jaytee New Username: jaytee Post Number: 2 Registered: 4-2007 Posted on Monday, April 23, 2007 - 7:18 am:    Thanks drr. I'm actually an Alembic "oldtimer" but new to this great club. I saw Return to Forever in '75 and started saving for a short scale. In '77 I purchased a short scale from Fullerton Music sight unseen. I played it for 16 years and in a fit of insanity (and economic disaster) I sold it in '93. I currently also have a '98 quilt-top 34" Orion and I purchased the MK to be my "neck-through" Alembic. Nostalgia is getting the best of me, though, and that's why I'lm looking for a SC. 57basstra Senior Member Username: 57basstra Post Number: 608 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Monday, April 23, 2007 - 7:35 am:    I'll bet that white Microphone is a Peavey. My group in the day had those white mics. jaytee New Username: jaytee Post Number: 3 Registered: 4-2007 Posted on Monday, April 23, 2007 - 6:54 pm:    Yup, it was.... keavin Senior Member Username: keavin Post Number: 1132 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Tuesday, April 24, 2007 - 4:13 am:    Jaytee good luck in your search for another series bass,I've noticed everybody that sells their series basses later come to regret it,that sound aint found in no other Bass!.......i almost sold mine some yrs ago! jaytee New Username: jaytee Post Number: 4 Registered: 4-2007 Posted on Tuesday, April 24, 2007 - 8:04 am:    You're right, Keavin, I certainly regret it. The irony here is that the 1977 new price, $1750, took me about two years to save at the time. The current price of a series bass will probably take me two years to save, also (inflation and a much better job!). davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5012 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Saturday, April 28, 2007 - 3:40 pm:    Very nice bass! jonno New Username: jonno Post Number: 6 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Sunday, May 06, 2007 - 5:02 am:    Hey Jaytee, She is a sweet one for sure...
