I found her used in 1978.

That is just beautiful!  I really love those old finishes.

Pretty cool. Looks like a nice piece of Koa to me. I love the flames in the wood!!!

She's sweet...

She looks well cared for.  I really like the patina that the brass gets with age.

Ken,
 
Yes, your bass is a nice representation of a Koa made Alembic.
 
Thanks for the picture,

Tie me to an anthill and smear my ears with jam...
 
That's a keeper!!!

Played at a blues jam on Sunday and an old friend, Bob Karambalas, got this wonderful picture of my baby. 33 years together and counting.

Great shot- what a beautiful bass!

COOL !

I like it. Half a mega. Color is outstanding.

Love the Koa!
In the photo the lighting makes it look like a Koa burst. What's the wood face of the Headstock?

Thanks guys, Bob was a sound guy locally back in the day and is now shooting pics. He has a great eye and great composition.  If we could get that old guy out of the frame my bass would be a lot prettier for certain. nnek, the headstock face I believe is Bocate. Please feel free to check out Bob's facebook photos, really nice stuff...

Just came across this pic from 2003, at Lupo's in Providence, opening for Max Creek.
