That's an interesting looking body on the Series I bass, almost like a Starfire construction (??), or is it just the image quality?

I noticed that, too, probably a nod to Phil's modified Starfire. Looks nice, wonder if it is short scale?

Nice display. The bass on the left...would like to know the info on that one.

That was formerly Robert "Kool" Bell's bass, custom made in a shape echoing his Oasis bass, a very rare (and gorgeous) instrument.

Thanks Mica!
Lots of videos on YouTube of Robert playing his Alembic. Really cool bass and great player.

Robert Kool Bell was my first thought when i saw that. It would make a lovely candidate for a signature bass.
The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!
