Great news Jonnytb, I'm certainly looking forward to seeing some pictures of your new bass as are the rest of us here. Is this your first Alembic?
Welcome to the forum and please let us know how your first gig with the bass goes. :-)

Our distributor sold this bass to Vic Zinn Music in Noblesville, Indiana in January of 1978. Vic Zinn was actually the very first Alembic dealer. The bass was sent back to us in 1979 for "damage to the neck" which we recorded as repairing and refinishing the peghead area. That's all there is in the file.
