Thanks and sorry for the bad quality pic...in fact, the bass looks far better than on this pic!
Besides the wonderful look, it plays and sounds as only these basses can do.
Ciao!
Stefano

It looks like this bass has Anniversary electronics.

Let me explain the electronics here, they were modified by Paul TBO (former owner, how are you?) and Edwin (from Bass Connection):
 
The original was: volume, pan, filter, filter; Q and Q.  
1. added a master volume on the expected most front place  
2. took out the pan and changed by a volume; So we got bridge and neck PU volumes.  
3. Added a switch for circuit break with a red LED (red led replaced later by me with a 3-way toggle switch for the front and side led's fitted by Simsled UK) that indicated if the bass was on circuit break or not. It came from the time I mostly let the bass with the jack in. Those were done just up from the pace were the jack would be.  
4. the jack was replaced by a PU selector switch (who was not a Alembic standard, but now is orginal Alembic with pointer knob)  
5. The jack was brought to the side.  
Ciao!
