I proudly introduce my "new" 83' 2814 Bass. I got it yesterday. It is series 1 medium scale bass with grafite neck. Original body was replaced for good balance. It was black finished when I got it. I got the idea "back to natural". But it had maple one piece body.(NO TOP LAMINATION!) But now, the bass got wonderful flamed Macassar Ebony top. The top wood has nice flame, isn't it ? The circuit has Master-Volume and Mono-Stereo SW. Thank you all Alembic stuff. Fianlly I got this nice bass ! dadabass2001 Advanced Member Username: dadabass2001 Post Number: 207 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Sunday, August 15, 2004 - 10:51 am:    Truly a beatiful Series 1. I hadn't seen flame figuring on Macasar Ebony before... Gorgeous! Is that zebrawood as an accent layer?

And man, love that body shape!!! I wouldn't be surprised if someone ordered a bass with this body shape in near future... Now I don't know which one I like better: Balance K or this one... stoney Advanced Member Username: stoney Post Number: 312 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Monday, August 16, 2004 - 10:54 am:    WOW,,,,,very cool !!!! nice job... rraymond Member Username: rraymond Post Number: 93 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Monday, August 16, 2004 - 12:22 pm:    Waaaay Cool! I like that Macassar Ebony! room037 New Username: room037 Post Number: 3 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Tuesday, August 17, 2004 - 8:32 am:    Hi, The slab of top wood is "3125" at Wood Bank >> Macassar Ebony. The flame is outstanding than the slab. By the way, I had not seen 5 strings Graphite neck, except Jimmy Johnson's bass. Someone knows how many it is ?

Did this bass once belong to dela? He sold something very similar about a year ago. Enjoy it...I have a graphite-necked four-string that I love more every day. dela217 Senior Member Username: dela217 Post Number: 433 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, August 17, 2004 - 2:55 pm:    Yep. That was once my bass. It came out great! I think your wood choice is incredible.

I can only imagine how great it sounds. I think I have a new favorite wood. The samples in the Wood Bank never do the finished product justice. Wow!

Mikey/ effclef Advanced Member Username: effclef Post Number: 228 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Thursday, August 19, 2004 - 10:26 am:    I had saved some photos from when Michael had it for sale (probably a sub-page here someplace, not sure where). What a difference the re-birth made! kmh364 Advanced Member Username: kmh364 Post Number: 376 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Thursday, August 19, 2004 - 3:39 pm:    It looked nice in black, but nothing like it does in Macassar Ebony! That one's a keeper! pace Junior Username: pace Post Number: 37 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Wednesday, August 25, 2004 - 8:14 pm:    I saw this one at the factory, as it was getting ready to ship. This bass will definitely grab your attention.... Seeing the 'before' pics makes it so much more impressive. I love the zebra / Macassar combo! bassman10096 Senior Member Username: bassman10096 Post Number: 594 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Wednesday, August 25, 2004 - 8:36 pm:    Wow. What a beautiful and unusual Alembic! Congratulations. vaughn New Username: vaughn Post Number: 3 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Sunday, December 12, 2004 - 6:45 pm:    this is possibly the most beautiful Alemic I've ever seen. I can only imagine what a Macassar Ebony-top Series I sounds like with a graphite neck! Wow. room037 Junior Username: room037 Post Number: 30 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Tuesday, December 14, 2004 - 8:21 pm:    Hi vaughn, Thank you for your post. My favorite body is standard omega. But my bass is very good balance for play. May be the body designe is one of kind. I love the black center piece with zebra stripe. I think this project was good balance for looking too !
