Wow, that's really something! Thanks for sharing it. I wish there were more pictures -especially of the neck, and close-ups of the dragon. |

That is a cool bass! The pickups are moveable on brass tubes. By the way, the serial number on that one is 999. |

Holy crap - that is one of the coolest Alembics ever. A 5-string back in '78 - that was pretty unusual for the time. Wow! |

I'd like to find out more about that moveable pickup system. Thats the most elegant solution I've ever seen. On other kinds of basses (Westone Rail, Spalt etc.), its looked like a dog's breakfast. |

crazykiwi..that's the dog's bollocks!! Outstanding bass..must weigh a bit though..big slabs of ebony That 5 string must have been based on Jimmy Johnsons model as he was the first to own one |
