Hi Guys ya this has been my main axe for many years, I am the 2nd owner. A friend bought it new in Seatle in 73, my power supply is # 17 that came with it.

That is beautiful. I love the caramel colored pickups.

What are the neck woods? Scale length? I am assuming that the extra knob is a master volume. I know, we're just full of questions around here!

The neck I think has walnut, maple, purple heart,mahogony. Just a guess alembic never kept good records in the early days so they tell me.
The scale is 34 and the extra knob is a master volume possibly one of the first ones with the master volume. This bass has incredible tone.

The Alembic Logo on the headstock looks unique

That style has shown up on a few early Alembics, including Old #10 and this peanut guitar.

Bill, tgo
