All I can ID is the Alembic Logo @ 4 o'clock.
 
I can see what I think is a goblet; but I cannot read the seal below the headstock (at almost 3 o'clock) or decipher the symbol in the top left corner.
 
Of course when you are my age the eyes are the first to go.

I smell a grail, some ornamented/ bejeweled cross, the Alembic logo and the symbol/ seal.
 
What I really would like is to sit down and play that bass,,,,, or at least hear a sound clip.

Here is the picture with the symbols revealed.
 

 
The lettering on the seal is:
 
 SIGILLUM MILITUM XPISTI

The Seduction of Madness XPISTI? - there is no madness in having that bass - it is those of us who lust after her that are going insane . . .
 
edit: Sorry that was a very poor translation on my part... curse you internet!
Further searching resolves that The Seal of a Soldier of Christ is the proper translation of SIGILLUM MILITUM XPISTI.
 
Although I stand by my dementia, because everytime I look at this beauty my cheese slips a little further off my cracker . . .
