I was JUST pondering about the POSSIBILITY of a Semi-hollow Alembic bass a few weeks ago! I had NO idea one ever existed?!?!?
 
ANY information would be GREATLY appreciated.....
THANKS!

For future reference, here's a picture of that semi-hollow SC with a Rickenbacker'ish F-hole ...

  The neck join looks like a set-neck, so with the electronics setup I would guess it's a custom Excel ...

  Personally, I prefer the back laminate!

Wow, that's sexy!  Too bad it's upside down.  
 
That's a bass that absolutely demands a wide strap, though.  A regular SC tends to be neck heavy for balance, so I would bet a semi-hollow version would carry that further.
