The bass is 70's 5 strings bass as my 76' 421 bass except for long scale. It is my first long scale Alembic bass ! The sounds are deeper than other my basses. Especially low B's tone is very impressive ! I don't know the sound descends from scale or body wood. But Mica said Cherry body has warmer sounds. Here is the build records. 77' 763 LSB 5-string Series I bass top and back: Schedua body: Zebrawood and Cherry neck: Maple, Beech, Purpleheart, 34" long scale fingerboard: Ebony with mother of pearl inlays peghead veneers: Padouk and Rosewood originally mde for: Rothchild birthday: July 14, 1977 The body has thick Zebrawood accent. adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 863 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Saturday, April 22, 2006 - 7:27 am:    Sweet! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 3682 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Saturday, April 22, 2006 - 8:48 am:    Nice bass!! The Zebrawood body lam is a really nice touch! That's a bit of an unusual tailpiece; looks cool! Love the fan head! olieoliver Advanced Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 257 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Saturday, April 22, 2006 - 9:01 am:    Very nice bass. What's the string spacing on it? They look very close together and the neck looks no wider at the body than the nut. palembic Senior Member Username: palembic Post Number: 2379 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Saturday, April 22, 2006 - 9:47 am:    WOW ... nice headstock!!

I think JAE had one and Flim Johnson had one. All in all it looks so much more balanced than the standard headstock but that's just me brent Junior Username: brent Post Number: 23 Registered: 10-2005 Posted on Tuesday, April 25, 2006 - 7:12 pm:    i'm in love with that headstock.
