Author Topic: How many Alembic basses? (Read 929 times)

Yes, both necks are maple / purpleheart. The top bass is a '78 refinished about two years ago, while the bottom one is a '77 refinished sometime in 2000 or 2001. You cought me off guard with the top woods, I'd have to look that up. The bottom one is Koa. Manfred, the previous owner put it up on showcase, you can actually see more photos of it here:

Those photos were taken in 2002 and the neck was not yellow at all then. It is more obvious there that the neck is maple.

The running total isn't accurate. It lists no Furthers and I know I mentioned mine a while back. You guys just don't like guitars! lol

Bill, tgo

Bill; this list became inaccurate quite a ways back up the thread, and has become increasingly so ever since. And Bill; I like Alembic guitars, and the people that play them!

Granted that this is already inaccurate, I don't think Keavin, fmm or peter jonas contributions got added because the number of Series I basses did not go up. So I'll add in the 4 basses the discussed, plus my own Series I. Then I'll add my 5 string as a Custom, since the s/n has MKC in it. That brings us to 82 basses, 38 participants
