Title: Andy West custom bass on eBay
Post by: room037 on September 08, 2012, 07:26:51 PM
Custom Alembic bass owned by Andy West (Dixie Dregs) is now on  the eBay classifieds. (http://bayarea.ebayclassifieds.com/musical-instruments/forest-knolls/1975-alembic-series-1-bass-with-fantastic-rock-history/?ad=23242720)
The bass was converted to new neck with Tree of Life inlays and new PUs.
 
I love the top wood (grained zebra wood ?).

Hey Eiji,
I have had the pleasure of owning Andy?s basses the Alembic and the Steinberger since 1984 both are just monsters. As far as the wood is concerned, Andy was just up and we were discussing it and we were thinking Mahogany. I?ve been trying to get a build sheet from Alembic but have not received a response yet.  Here is a link to an article Andy wrote about the basses.

If you have any questions regarding the bass, let me know.
Tim.
