"Oh yes, now it the time to say goodbye to this wonderful looking and sounding Series 1 bass from 1997 with his great fantastic Zebra wood top. The condition is like new. comes with all papers, keys, US Power supply, cabel and orig. case. Any extras are the master volume and the great to playing neck size, very small, is it a long scale bass. ship only in Europe, so sorry i must say that, but the goverment makes lot of trouble and paper work when we need to ship outside the EU and lot of extra cost. all others are welcome. price ? i wait here for serious offers. i post it on reverb at next time when i hear here not the right level. All Alembic fans and players they know the right price level. i need not a extremly offer, but a right offer for this rar bass with one of the best zebra wood top.  take your chance."

No connection with seller.

Flatsawn zebrawood reminds me of the Seismic bass.

Yes saw it too. Really nice one!
Good that they moved the pickup selector on the later series models from the upper horn. When did they start doing that?

I'm not sure when it happened but i've read on here in the past that Stanley had his selector moved on one of his early basses as it got in the way of his style of playing. Since then the new position near the other controls is pretty much standard unless specifically requested.

I guess that took him a long time to discover.  :)  There are some concerts from 1993 (maybe later) where he stills play with the switch in the old position.

Would it be an easy mod to relocate the switch if you have an older series bass?
