Any live Doobie Brothers from about 73-76. Tiran Porter. But even after he alembicized he still used a Fender in studio recordings.

The Allman Bros band bass players have used Alembic basses through the years. I don't know which tracks they were used on but I would suspect some of the tracks recorded when Lamar Williams or Allen Woody were in the band. I know they both used Alembics live and that Lamar used one with Sea Level until it was stolen. Here is a to Lamar playing his Alembic with Sea Level.
 
Some Frank Zappa tracks and concerts where Tom Fowler played are on an Alembic. Tom also played bass for Jean Luc Ponty on a couple of his albums. Tom Fowler with and with .

I'm surprised how loose Stanley's strings seem to be on that clip.
The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

Here's the live Rhythm Stick with Norman Watt-Roy bringing the Alembic thunder, though he has a Moment of Derp in the intro.  
 
He and the late Charley Charles were one of the all-time great rhythm section duos.

Apparently Nathan East played his Series I on Eric Clapton's 'Behind The Sun' album which was my very first ever recording with him. Jeff Procaro played drums and you can hear the punchy sound of this bass on the song 'Forever Man', one of the singles from that album. This is the bass I played lead melody on my song 'Wildfire' with Hubert Laws on his hit album 'Family'.
 
This is from the text that was provided for the Series I that belonged to Nathan East (seems to me that Nathan East himself is selling the bass) on eBay:
