Ok folks, let's see if these images post properly.  They should illustrate most of what was mentioned in my previous post about The Osiris bass aka Mission Control aka Osage Orange aka The Omega.....  Let me know if I am missing anything in particular.... Cheers!

Looks like a short scale.

It is.

Nope.  32"

Ok, one more try to post the Batwing tailpiece that is going onto the bass. 

Alembic Bass Porn........  This is the back of the Headstock on Osiris aka Mission Control aka Osage Orange aka The Omega.  Let me know if you guys want to see a few more shots.  Cheers!

Hey Mica-are there any good shots of the fretboard inlays of this bass in your files??I remember first seeing this bass and remembering that I had never seen such detail before(1974) with the exception of (greg lakes'I think) detailed metal zematis guitar.

thanks edwin!-I am a freak about this particular bass as I think you are the Godfather-
thanks for the clean up-also- you notice in this picture the part of the body top near his forearm? what is going on there?- I have read that this bass de-laminated-wonder if that is the spot?also he changed the bridge tailpiece to what looks like individual pieces vs the bird tail piece he had originally-
I would love to see a clear pic of all the inlays on this bass too. For one of the all time coolest alembics there are not many pics of this bass around.  hmm

The neck NEVER DE-LAMINATED.  A myth.....

Thanks for the pictures, Jason. (and the de-mystifications!) I am not getting a thing done while waiting for these to post. 

Would you mind sharing what, if any sequence number this bass has? (I had read further back in the thread 0008)

This bass, and Jack's #1 are mind-blowing. Alembic knocked it out of the park in every category with this one: woods, craftsmanship, design, art, and an other-worldly electronics package.

Here is a photo.  74   00008

Cheers!

Here is another shot for you guys.  The eyes are opals! 

I thought you guys might want to see the strap I made for the bass.  Each bead was hand sewn into the leather.  Enjoy!  @beadworkbyjenny

74-000008??

I wonder where that would fall between 73-47 and 74-49?  And that sure seems like a lot of 0s.

Interesting; can you and/or your dad illuminate this for us, Mica?

Peter (who will add - nice strap, Jason!)

Waiting for her to go through old records after the move.  .....but it is stamped right on there and Rick Turner confirmed it as well. 

Maybe it means 74- "Quad" 8...   74- 0000 8
