Sometimes, the indirect method works best. Follow the Yellow Brick Link to my Yahoo! photo album and two simple but satisfying pics of my bass-to-be.
It's an '80 short-scale Series II with graphite neck and trimmed in koa.

Nope. No picture. You are killing me.

AAAARGH!
I am SO sorry. I'll be e-mailing pics to poor_nigel, who has very kindly offered to re-size and post my pics.
Again, my sincere apologies for the continual complications. I'm not a tease, honest...

Keavin, switch to Guinness and you'll only need 15. And then you won't even care anymore.

well worth waiting for!

is that a walnut neck with maple framing veneers? the koa top is beautiful, and the instrument appears to be in mint condition

Thanks, all, esp. poor_nigel. I've been lucky enough to own two Alembics in the past, and foolish enough to sell or trade them both.
Once this one arrives, it ain't gettin' away.

What a gem of a bass. I am especially interested in hearing how the neck is. In northern Maine the thought of a graphite neck that ignores humidity and the cold is very enticing, indeed. Yep, I would certainly hold on tight to this bass if it were mine.

Do give us the whole story when it arrives. I want to know how it performs and sounds. And I do really like its case. I have never seen one built with a lid like that. What kind is it?

Sweet!
