Some old pictures from 1984 you might like

Good stuff! Just wondering where these pics came from. I think the short scale bass pictured is a bass I used to own. It was a bass that was sent back to Alembic in 1984 for some repairs. It was a 1978, serial number 1168. Purpleheart top and back and real sweet. It now is a fretted instrument.

Cool!!

What instrument is picture 7 showing the control cavity?

And I'm guessing picture 8 is an attempt to cut down on weight.

These pictures came with an article in the Dutch magazine Music Maker. It's the only older copy I've got of this magazine, when I was 14 years old I kind of stole it from my uncle because of the Alembic article. Since I bought that 1977-778 Series-1 a few weeks ago I am totally into Alembic again. I knew I had this magazine somewhere and found it today. The article is in Dutch so I just posted the pictures.

Have fun!!

Marc (the happy one)

Marc,
Can you provide a synopsis of the article in English for those of us that are linguistically challenged?

I will try to translate the article in English for you, but please give me some time.

That's great! Thanks Marc...that's very considerate of you.

What a cool article...if you could post it in it's natural state as well, people like me with extremely poor German-language skils could have fun trying to read Dutch/Flemish, LOL! FWIW, I was able to make out most of what's visible in the pix...it's fun trying!

Cheers,

Kevin
