See, this is why we need time travel.

I remember seeing my first Alembic back in the early 70's. It was at a small local guitar shop and I think it was a guitar and not a bass. it cost the staggering sum of around $1,200. I did buy one of those Alembic kits to replace the magnet in your humbucker at the time.

Around 81 i think it was, i saw the Clarke/Duke project here in the UK and remember afterwards two alembics in the window of a music shop near the venue, short and long scale for £3,000 each.

. Yup. I paid $575 for my 4001 Ric in 1978.

$500 For my first good bass in 1975 - a brand new '74 fender precision with OHSC and hang tags.
$4000 for a 5-string ziricote top series II with OHSC from bass northwest in 2002.
Now i'm all misty 😥

I wonder where that guitar is now.
The Pan Guitars ad is funny. "...they may look like you-know-whats, but they sound even better."

I did know where that guitar was for a while.
It is serial number 73-45. It was the guitar pictured in the Alembic/L.D Heater brochure from back then. The owner of that guitar used to hang out here and post once in a while a long time ago. I know the guitar was sent back to Alembic for some electronic repairs. I did see it for sale after that. The last I heard, the guitar was still with it's owner.
I own the bass pictured from the same L.D. Heater brochure. It is 73-47. I will have to post another pic of it as it has changed a bit from the last time I posted a picture of it in the showcase section. It is now fitted with PF6 Series II electronics and black pickups.
