I have a soft spot for old school vintage Alembic designs.
 
Another fitting tribute to the formative years of the company that forever changed how electric basses and guitars are designed,  built and amplified.
 
Bravo Vincent & Alembic!

Very nice! I'm intrigued by the wood choices in the neck. As an owner of an old school Alembic it's nice to see that great ideas have longevity.  
Play in peace Vincent,
Pete

Instruments like this is what brought Alembic to the forefront of bass manufacturers; to pay homage to Alembic in this fashion is just outstanding. It's not easy hoisting 11 or 12 pounds onto your shoulder for a gig, but for me (even at 54 years of age) it is an honor & a privilege to perform with & represent the elite producer of bass guitars in the world. A labor of love, if you will.....
Fantastic bass, Vincent, may you two have many wonderful years together.

Correction: there is 'much' money to be made above the fifth fret....

So, #1 was 72-01, right? I was born in 72.
 
And now I am, according to Mica, approaching 50.
 
That hurts, Mica, it really does.
