Just got it, sounds amazing, plays great. At some point someone moved the pick-up selector down to where the rest of the knobs are and covered up the old hole with a brass plate and LED. It has a black plastic nut, does anybody know whats up with that? I thought all Alembics had brass nuts.    (Message edited by navbass on September 24, 2007) | ||

Most Alembics do have brass nuts. I would guess someone replaced it at some time. Are you sure it is plastic and not ebony? Keith | ||

Hey Richard, That is a sweet bass, congratulations! Could it be a graphite or teflon nut such as a "graph-tech"? Don't hesitate to post bigger pictures. I would be interested in seeing the mods close up. Hartmut | ||

This is the only bass I've owned that's older than me!  (Message edited by navbass on September 26, 2007) | ||

Graeme, Richard's top has hair on it. (sorry George, I couldn't stop myself) It is a beautiful instrument. I like the look of zebrawood a lot. This one has the same grain angles as my Epic. Sam | ||

Looks great, thanks for sharing... no wonder you have CTS! What's the scale length... medium? | ||

It's a long scale. Seems Huge compared to my medium scale Elan. I have to wear my strap a little looser with the Series I or it feels like I have trouble reaching the 1st fret. Still very comfortable to play, just different. | ||

Very nice. What year is it ? It looks like a 1979/1980 production. | ||

Very very very cool. The tone is supple yet firm...played with pinache! Thanks for the link. |
