Okay. Well, good. When you post a thread on the main forum header here titled "Snapped Headstock" it conjures certain images and thoughts. You're new though, so we'll open the door for ya'.  :)


Here's a sample of an Alembic repair on a snapped headstock. https://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=7790.msg90849#msg90849


I'm going to go out on a limb and say the price for this has increased some in 20 years. The quality of work however remains impeccable. 


The link Greg provides is my bass.  I thought you might want to see pic of the finished repair .....

WOW! It doesn't even look like anything happened to it. Was it completely off before?

It is the bass from the thread that edwardofhuncote linked to. It's one of the Featured Customs, The Dark and the Light.

Not onlyAlembics get broken, check out Stanley's bass.
