I've never heard of that brand. Is it a neck-through? | ||

Hi Joe and welcome to the forum. That's surely is one I haven't seen before. Take a look at this Google search results as it contains some information on the brand. This eBay auction happens to contain the full length picture that you've posted here. Best, Art | ||

well the ebay search turned up nothing but the google search ( which was 4 years old lol) did hint at it being german in origin so i guess thats a step closer thanks i want to update the electronics in it but i would hate to devalue it before i know its history as it is obviously a rare bass lol | ||

The pickup looks like just a P pickup , I wonder what the change to an Alembic Activator would be like ? Probably Dynamite! | ||

i dont know yet i'm planning on ripping out the passives and throwing in a 18volt system but i want to find out more about this bass before i do something and devalue it its been so hard to get info on this thing i'm convinced that its a rare bass and might be worth a lot more than the 500 i spent on it |
