Its a 76 series one , zebra wood top, lacewood back with a 7 ply body including top and back. 5 piece neck - I had it refinished 10 years ago due to wear, I'll get around to getting a S1 5 string one of these days anyway thats my rant, My regards to you all.

That is a pretty good testimonial for some who works for an instrument manufacturer, but prefers Alembic. Then again, who wouldn't?

That's cool that you still consider it king. We need a witty saying here, like "Old Alembics never die, they just ..." Hope to see a picture soon!

"Old Alembics never die, they just lay on the bottom" My original incarnation of this phrase was "Old Bass Players......"

So are their owners..... John
