Didn't' Christian (speicky) own the bass for a while?

Here is an older discussion thread about the bass and John.

Guys,
yes indeed Speicky did own this bass
I had the luck that Speicky let me playing that
bass once when I visited him. 
Great bass!

I wonder if they refixed the broken headstock. It looked questionable when I saw it last.

I remember when Carl bought that bass.  I also remember what it was bought for.  It is an icon though, and if he has a Rotosound John Judge poster to go with it, that would be icing on the cake.  I tried to find a poster for Carl that I used to see on the wall at Jensen Music in Santa Barbara back in the late 70's when I got my first Alembic, but alas, they had ripped it down many years prior.  If you are over 50, you know how special this bass was to the young Alembic crowd.

Man you are not kidding !

I remember removing mine from an issue of Guitar Player, always wishing it was in color !

No one knew who John Judge was,  but we knew he had "the Bass of the ages" !

My old copy of Guitar Electronics for Musicians book has this pic of a John Judge guitar in it. He must have liked lots of knobs!
