Jack Casady would've had an alembic signature bass but he f*cked that up by selling #1.

Where is #1 now?

Rumor is that someone here (the Club) has it.

According to Jack, #1 was dropped on a concrete floor & sent back to Alembic for repair of body cracks. He said the bass never sounded the same after it had been dropped.

Good recorded examples of #1 include Thirty Seconds over Winterland, Baron Von Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun and The Phosphorescent Rat.

P Rat is my favorite album. Period. Some of Jorma's best songwriting, great playing, great sound.

Listening to some of Phosphorescent Rat now. Very cool!

I had the honor of playing Jack's Alembic before he dropped it (he also played my Guild...misses his, told me what happened to it)...it was a very nice axe, the pickups slid on brass trammels, had red LED's in the neck. Jack was a bit careless with his axes due to coke-a-rooskies excess....sad but true!! I'd never treat my Guild with such disrespect!!!
