It is a long scale (34") walnut top serial #744 built in 77, it comes with the active box and DIN cables. I am asking for offers over $3800. I can post or email more pics as needed Thanks Jay Silas 57basstra Senior Member Username: 57basstra Post Number: 657 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Wednesday, June 13, 2007 - 11:48 am:    Welcome to the board, Jay. Does it come with a case and if so, what kind? drr jay_silas New Username: jay_silas Post Number: 2 Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Wednesday, June 13, 2007 - 12:11 pm:    Hi 57basstra, The case looks like every Alembic case I've seen, that is, grey with metal trim flight case style with black interior. I will try to post pics if I can figure out how to compress them enough to fit the 150k limit here.

Does it have LEDs? dw 57basstra Senior Member Username: 57basstra Post Number: 658 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Wednesday, June 13, 2007 - 3:27 pm:    Flight cases are not standard Alembic issue – having one is a big plus, I'd say. jay_silas New Username: jay_silas Post Number: 4 Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Wednesday, June 13, 2007 - 4:22 pm:    Hey everyone, I was not the original owner, when I bought it, I was told that it was walnut, I was too exited to question it. When I looked at Alembic's wood selection page, it seemed closer to a flamey or quilted top walnut but 30 years of aging may also bring out some of the lighter tones I guess. Sorry no LEDs. I've only seen a handful of Alembics live (series IIs and Stanley Clarkes) and they all had the same case I have, so perhaps that's why I assumed all Alembics had the same case.

It's seen on many Wal basses. gtrguy Intermediate Member Username: gtrguy Post Number: 107 Registered: 9-2004 Posted on Thursday, June 14, 2007 - 8:48 am:    I did a search on it on this site and it comes up as Schedua (sp?) from a previous owner.
