I like the 4-string better for the finish. Alembic has definitely done these kinds here and there.

There have been more of these on sale in the past in the uk. In fact jacko spotted a used one in guitarguitar which was previously sold by the same eBay seller.  
 
Great looking for someone wanting the alembic tone with a traditional look. I wonder if there is a precision style out there too.

Ok. Drooling. Right now. The best reason to want a Jazz Bass sound and NOT buy a Fender or any other clone (me myself, a Hamer and a Fernandes with Barts). So now there's no excuse for not having an Alembic only collection :P

Agreed. I play Alembic Basses exclusively.  I think the design is a real nice tribute to Leo Fender, a man who made our love affair with the Bass possible.

That spalted maple 4-banger is making me twitch and drool.  Good thing it's in the UK.
