Cocobolo. Nice bass, John. I might have to talk to you about that after tax time if no one beats me to it.

Hard to get the right light on this dark bass without creating flash glare. I should have taken it outdoors for some natural light...but it was starting to snow!

I thought it might be Cocobolo  . I wish you were closer for me to check  it out.

That will be my next Bass or something very similar when the stars align again. That's when the $ and oppurtunity happens again. Meantime enjoying the Alembic I have now  Good Luck, If she dosn't sell Hmmmm.........? LMK

Aha! Figured out how to make those small pix large. Now is there a way to delete the smallish ones?

John -
I believe only the site moderators can delete items that were posted more than 24 hours ago.
 
VERY nice Distillate and a fair price - makes me want to start a collection. :-D
 
That upper horn looks longer than my 84' - was there a body design change?

Agreed, very nice bass and very reasonable price. Versatile electronics, too. Good luck with the sale.  
 
@ Pauldo - Looks to me likes it's the extended upper horn option. Probably a nice feature to have.

Dropping asking price to $2150.

I'm interested. I've already got one in walnut and this would be a very nice companion.  What's the scale? Is it a 32?

I thought all Distillates were medium length? And the extended upper horn is only found on a few. I prefer it.

Beautiful bass. The top looks like cocobolo but Mica would need to confirm that. Distillates are 32 medium scale.  The upper horn was lengthened in 1985 for better balance, so pre '85's will have a shorter upper horn. Another change around 1985 was the removal of LED next to the input jack, so some '85's will have it, some not. I have had my Distillate for several years and it  still amazes me, great basses.
