Thanks, Dave & Val
I have been curious about the wood on the fretboard since I received this bass. Vermillion! wow that must be a rare fretboard wood. This bass is absolutly amazing, both in appearance and sound design. I can get the lowest action I have ever been able to get with an Alembic bass to date. I want to thank the Alembic family for such a wonderful instrument. It has aged with grace.

Ed; I'm a bit confused. You've just purchased this bass??

Dave,
I bought it on August 16th, from Gruhn Guitars. I received it on the 18th. This is the bass that used to be Mr. O'Connor's, seen in artist section.

Bob,
That bass is not the one I have. So you are safe in that respect. The bass I do have (seen in the Artists and their alembics section under Mark O'Connor) is mine. I can plainly see the serial number 77-882, and mine does have the Vermillion fretboard which the one on the link does not. My advice to you would be to double check the serial number.
-Ed
BTW: The bass in the link looks grand!!! good luck let me know if you need more help. I wish I would have seen your post earlier on so I could have brought this to your attention sooner.

Bob,
Glad I could help.
//Thanks for the kind words about my bass, It must be seen in person to appreciate.

Y'know, Ed, something tells me if there's one to be had you'll be the guy to find it. Posted pics yet?
