After a pursuit of discovery for the relevant facts as to who actually built this instrument, I was able to ascertain and corroborate the recollections of the craftsmen involved for certain. I had direct communications with the gentleman who did the actual original woodwork and build whilst working for Stars Guitars. He wrote to me that his previous employment was  in the Alembic shop in Cotati ,CA and before that at Satterlee and Chapin music in San Francisco .
I bestow my sincerest gratitude to all those at Alembic whom have brought this lovely little creature back to life.

Beautiful!  Very nice restoration and cool bass.  What electronics configuration did you end up having installed?

Thanks for posting Wolf.  Does she sing? 

Rob ; The electronics are, Alembic Activator Electronics with a custom wring configuration utilizing 5pin power and stereo output.
pauldo ;
             Nimbus the bass dost sing, with resonance.
             With clarity henceforth, she plays and reigns.
             Reawakened, not to be mistaken.
             Such creation amidst all elegance.
             From the Alembicus hast been reborn.
             
             

Great to see you and Nimbus back again, Wolf! 


Awesome, that you were able to track down the builder too. That's great!

That is a cool bass Wolf. Play it in good health!

😃

That's a cool bass with an amazing history.  Congrats. Edwin!

I like the control knob layout in a ring like Phil's old bass.  The five pin for power is a nice feature. The body wood is pretty dark, is it vermillion or Purple Heart?

Wow what a great instrument and story.  I love the build completely and you are a true steward of this amazing instrument Wolf.  Play it in good health I'm sure those low frequencies align and increase your energy on a cellular level

It would be a cool look if you did a hand-hammered brass pickup plate like some of the really Alembics had.

Thanks paulman !

Wolf,
my apologies.   got my wires crossed and thought Edwin had this one.  very glad to see it in your hands- play it healthy!

Toby, no worries, thanks so much !

Wolf - that's awesome! I remember when we bumped into each other at Safeway, I think you had just gotten it. Glad to see it reawakened!
