Wow, very cool. Never seen a white Factory Alembic before. Is it original or refinished? I asked the seller but haven't heard back yet. I love the looks of it. White with the cream pickups.
Quite tempting!!

Whilst i'm a fan of natural wood on alembics, this one looks fine!!!!
Looks really nice! I would replace the cream pick up covers with white ones though.Not sure if it is the original finish though? Also because they painted the cavity cover.
They are not covers so you'd have to replace the pickups.
That bass would have been a good candidate for the rare, and much sought-after 'clown-barf' pickups. ;D
I'm guessing it's not refinished. There are a few factory white finished Alembics around that time. One of my favorites was an EVH5 that eventually was stripped to natural maple.
I remember that one. There was a white series one from the bass player on Mother's Finest that was up for sale way back.
