A Crown head stock goes without saying.

Wow! 31 yrs. ago I doubt I could have afforded an Alembic shirt (Tee or otherwise, LOL!), nevermind a new Alembic.

David,
Break everyone's heart and tell them what you  
paid in '76.  
 
BTW, I've had my '76 since '78, 29 years and
counting.

I got my '76 when I was 19, which was 1988.  I guess that means I have had it 19 years.  Time flies...

Got my 83 in 83 at age 20. I'll be receiving my 16th in 2007. I think that just makes me a whouuuuuurgh. (pronounce with thick Scottish accent) Either that or a glooouuuton for financial endentured servitude.
Happy Alembic years to you all.

Kenn, I paid $1817.00 new for this bass, and in 76 you could buy a Fender of a Rick in the $400 range
 
 
Kevin, their's a piece of 76-407 living in Old#12

Well I am a youngster as I will have owned my Alembic 10 years come Jan 2008 although it was made in 1993.
It doesn't seem that long at all..where do the years go

BTW,  I paid $850.00 for it new. It took me another 6 months to afford the extra $100 for the case.
