Thanks for checking, Mica. For Alembic's records, 77-848 is a short scale, Stanley Clarke body style Series I with a graphite neck (which features red LED dots on the side, cool and more useful than I expected). It was custom built for forum member lstock, per the original post on this thread. I bought it from him last year.
A neck crack near the headstock was repaired by Alembic long ago, lstock said. It's visible but rock-solid and affects nothing.
I still can't believe it's real; it's like Christmas morning every time. I'm a Phil Lesh freak (surprise), and it's instant Wall of Sound when I plug it in.
Sounds unbelievable, even with original electronics, and just too pretty. Some think graphic neck instruments sound cold or sterile, but it's clarity to me. I'm a Modulus freak as well, so this is a dream come true.
You folks are magicians; your long-term quest for THE bass sound has given us all much pleasure. Happy holidays, Steve
