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 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 )  I have the album cover on a T-shirt somewhere in the closet.
