Interesting Alembic-like bass
« on: December 25, 2020, 01:53:53 PM »
Interesting Alembic-like bass played with Shakatak. The top of the fretboard position markers look like they light up, which is cool. (you can really see this bass at position 22.41).
Of course it does not quite have 'the sound'. Anyone know what it is?

A little different bridge but looks like a JayDee...

Not just a bass, this is an Alembic!

Oh, yes, it is it. GA stands for George Anderson...

Yes it is a Jaydee GA.  John Diggins made me a custom here in 1986 the Midlands - I crossed the GA with the Mark King.  Still got it and having it serviced next year when Covid permits.
