Ultra rare body type and finish for this model of bass. Comes with OHSC. Only modification is Schaller straplocks.
The only ding on this bass occurred when it took a short fall 3 years ago. After that it was sent to the Alembic Mothership for a check up and some pots replaced. The damage was slight and was checked and repaired as needed by Alembic - all that is left is a slight crack in the finish on the back of the neck behind the first fret.
