Thanks Keavin! That is good stuff. Brings back lots of memories. Back then, I remember everyone wanted to be like RTF.

For what it's worth, the first video shows the Alembic that was stolen with the equipment truck. Was that bass ever recovered??

The last video he is playing the bass that became known as the brown bass. It was new then and shows it before it was modified to accept the newer style pickups.

I did knotice that the alembic on the first two Videos is one with the batteries in between the pickups it looks like one of yours! but i don't think stanley ever got that one back, however he did get his Uprite Bass back shortly (two weeks)after the theft from some kid on the street. he was trying to sell it!
