Olie, how about this for inlay

pulling an Alembic out of a boulder
or standing on the boulder holding an Alembic by the neck in victory

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
and that makes me smile

peace brother

It doesn't seem that long at all..where do the years go

I am still a newbie here, however this one has been with me for 23 years.

fish · « **Reply #29 on:** July 12, 2007, 01:20:20 PM »

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