This is my first Alembic.
I bought this Distillate in 1981.
And this bass is the best for me over the years.

Sound clip is here. 810190 (http://hieronymous.us/friends/dis.mp3%20target=_blank) This is one of my best performance.
Sound clip link is supported by Hieronymous. I deeply appriciate his cooperation.
I think these export Distillates look cool. Nice to hear one; cool tune!
Can anyone tell me what type of wood this is? I have one I am thinking about selling, it is just like this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

This Distillate bass has a Zebrawood top.
This is a solid bass, it has all the same wood. I thought it might be Vermillion, serial # is 81 0325. I am trying to find any info on this so I can sell it, I am having trouble....
I found some info from Japan, you are right, zebrawood. It is so pretty...
I used following for recording the sound clip.
Gallien-Krueger ML260E overdrive channel for distortion.
Jen Crybaby.
Boss DR-110 Drum machine.
Soundcraft Spirit Folio Lite mixer.
rhythm part played with a pick.
melody part played with fingers.
Nice sound clip - gives me some ideas - and the KC Larks Tongues is a personal fav :o) I have the album cover on a T-shirt somewhere in the closet.
