Hi Chris and Gary,

Thank you so much for the estimates and all the extra information somebody like me would not know! That helps a lot!

Chris, I appreciate your time and effort to find the spec sheet and original pricing.

I attached a few more photos which were taken today. The bass has been in storage for the last 11 years or so.

Ooops, I posted this twice.

The back!  Gasp, that is beautiful.   
As mentioned an Alembic is worth what a buyer is willing to pay.   
Not having a filter(s) could be a downside, but the beautiful construction is certainly a plus!


Anne, have you (or other family) considered playing bass?

I have thought about playing! Unfortunately, I have  T-Rex arms and hands - a ukulele probably would be more appropriate.

My brother considered the lower end electronics a feature (I didn't think to ask him why).
