Beyond being an Alembic Series I or II, I can't see enough of it to make a further guess. It appears that the bass rig consists of an Alembic pre-amp, the blue power supply and a Peavy power amp (possibly CS800?). He said the guy was a good player and had great tone (a given) but became a doctor and probably quit playing. He guessed that this bass now resides in an attic somewhere. How tragic. fmm Advanced Member Username: fmm Post Number: 383 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, May 02, 2014 - 8:52 am:    The Peavey amp looks a little short for a CS-800, probably a CS-400.
