Good stuff! Just wondering where these pics came from. I think the short scale bass pictured is a bass I used to own. It was a bass that was sent back to Alembic in 1984 for some repairs. It was a 1978, serial number 1168. Purpleheart top and back and real sweet. It now is a fretted instrument.
Cool!!
What instrument is picture 7 showing the control cavity?
And I'm guessing picture 8 is an attempt to cut down on weight.
Great stuff! Where did you find these jems? Keep em comming.
...and very interesting to hava a Moonstone guitars poster on the wall in the background.... :-)

These pictures came with an article in the Dutch magazine Music Maker. It's the only older copy I've got of this magazine, when I was 14 years old I kind of stole it from my uncle because of the Alembic article. Since I bought that 1977-778 Series-1 a few weeks ago I am totally into Alembic again. I knew I had this magazine somewhere and found it today. The article is in Dutch so I just posted the pictures.
Have fun!!

Marc,
Can you provide a synopsis of the article in English for those of us that are linguistically challenged?
Keith

Excellent pictures Marc. Must one of the few photos of Ron.
Graeme
I will try to translate the article in English for you, but please give me some time.
Marc
That's great! Thanks Marc...that's very considerate of you.
What a cool article...if you could post it in it's natural state as well, people like me with extremely poor German-language skils could have fun trying to read Dutch/Flemish, LOL! FWIW, I was able to make out most of what's visible in the pix...it's fun trying!
Cheers,
Kevin

Marc,
Thanks for the translation. I look forward to seeing your update.
Keith
Marc,
If you scan the article, and email some of it, maybe I could give you a hand translating the lot. It would be a good practice :-)
Joram
Yeah, Marc,
I would like to chime in. I grew up at the east side of Dollart in Lower Saxony, but I may have enough experience too to translate (part of) the article. Just set things in motion, we'll be right there !
Christian (the faker)
Marc ...ik neem vrijdag 30 wel een stukkie mee om te vertalen!
Paul
You're going up North, Paul? Watch the snow, my man!
Yep ...coming to Groningen, looking forward to snow! And the midnight fireworks in the street. It has been some time.
Visiting Edwin's new store in our way up!
I hope I can bring Bonnie, Chi and A with me to visit Marc like he asked. I guess you can join???
I'll be reachable on my mobile (see profile)
