Sometimes, the indirect method works best. Follow the Yellow Brick Link to my Yahoo! photo album and two simple but satisfying pics of my bass-to-be. It's an '80 short-scale Series II with graphite neck and trimmed in koa. | ||

AAAARGH! I am SO sorry. I'll be e-mailing pics to poor_nigel, who has very kindly offered to re-size and post my pics. Again, my sincere apologies for the continual complications. I'm not a tease, honest... | ||

Keavin, switch to Guinness and you'll only need 15. And then you won't even care anymore. Sam | ||

Thanks, all, esp. poor_nigel. I've been lucky enough to own two Alembics in the past, and foolish enough to sell or trade them both. Once this one arrives, it ain't gettin' away. KFS | ||

What a gem of a bass. I am especially interested in hearing how the neck is. In northern Maine the thought of a graphite neck that ignores humidity and the cold is very enticing, indeed. Yep, I would certainly hold on tight to this bass if it were mine. Do give us the whole story when it arrives. I want to know how it performs and sounds. And I do really like its case. I have never seen one built with a lid like that. What kind is it? | ||

VERY nice. It is sort of the opposite of mine. Where you have maple I have koa, where you have koa, I have maple. | ||

Hi all, I am proudly new owner of this bass. Now I'm waiting for the arrival. KFS decided to sell this jewel of bass, then he offered me first as promise. Thank you for your kindness ! I will show new pictures ASAP when I get it. Eiji | ||

Eiji, out of curiousity, what are you doing for a case for this bass? I bought the flight case pictured above for 75-150, and it was given to James when I sold that bass to him. Did Shawn have an original blue case for it? I gave James both the flight case and 75-150's original blue one when I sold it. This, of course, begs for new pictures of your bass in its case, and out of it. I am so glad this jewel went to such a good home. Mo pix! Mo pix! Mo pix! | ||

BTW - I probably still have all the original pictures Shawn sent me on this bass in full res. If you want them, please let me know and I will zip them up and e-mail then to you. I would just have to find them on one of my archived HDs. | ||

Hi Thomas, I did on new thread about three years ago. The bass was sent with non original black case. It has slightly different shape pads, so I am looking for original early 80's blue hard case. I want to look the pictures. My address is in my profile. Eiji | ||
