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.
