Hey Everyone,
My name is Ryan Fowler and I own a small music store that specializes in rare and collectible instruments. I just picked up a super clean 1976 Series I and I thought that I would post it here on the Alembic board for you all to see. I have had several Alembics from the 70s and 80s over the years but this one is by far the cleanest one I have com across. Please email me at ryangtr@gmail.com (mailto:ryangtr@gmail.com) with any questions or comments. Click the link below to check it out.

Here's an earlier thread (http://club.alembicguitars.net/index.php?topic=8446) on this bass.
I ve never ever saw a oak core...weird,isn t it?,i don't know...
Very cool that there is still record of the previous owner. The person I bought it from bought it from him in 2008 I think.
The oak core is one of the things that I thought was very unique. I have never seen that before.
I love how the upper horn gives a very subtle nod to the JPJ basses.I love it.
That is in remarkable shape for it's age.Very impressive.
