Here's an interesting bass I saw on eBay. Definitely Alembic inspired.

That one is tempting me. But I am trying to hold out for an Oasis.

Michael:

I'm also looking for an Oasis. If I run across a bass, I'll let you know. If you see a guitar, please give me a head's up.

Bill, tgo

Nice woodcarving. One can see the violin influence.

Yes , I like this one . The holes look correct to convert it to Alembic Distillate electronics & pickups ! That would be cool !

very nice bass, very nice wood work, more violin inspirated than Alembic, for me.

Anybody know what the electronics package actually is?

Looks like volume, tone, 3-way p/up selector, phase, & 2 coil-taps to me.

Bill Lawrence pickups?

An interesting choice for the body/neck joint.
