Hi, I came across this bass on ebay...for some reason, I've always wanted a "traditional" S1 even thought I have an amazing triple omega with signature electronics. What would I be losing/gaining by going with this bass? I slap over the frets at the neck now and have always wondered if I could slap on these older models. Here's the bass in question. http://cgi.ebay.com/1977-Alembic-Series-I-4-String-Bass-Great-Shape_W0QQitemZ270466442607QQcmdZViewItemQQssPageNameZRSS:B:SRCH:US:101 Thanks, Ken |

some have said slap style is impeded by pickup selector switch on the lower horn. haven't looked at the 77 you're considering, but a previous owner modified my 78 S1 to move that switch to the lower body. much better. |

I'll drive down and check it out in person, if anyone is seriously interested in this one. The BIN is a bit high for me. |
