Found it.  And it's Europa electronics.  I like this bass.

That's my first Alembic. As a matter of fact, the above image is one that I made for oggy-doggy when we were discussing the trade that brought me the 20th Anniversary. I seriously miss that bass. Comfortable to play and sounded great right into the board. Lots of comments regarding set neck vs neck through construction, but I'll tell you, this bass will sing for days. Sigh.
 
It's priced about 25% above what I paid for it new. But, if it's worth it to you . . .
