I just stumbled across this listing on eBay

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Alembic-Series-1-Bass-Guitar-1977-624-Vintage-Birds-Eye-Flamed-Maple-Body/202336077262?hash=item2f1c2b85ce:g:xhYAAOSwYK1bGZ8X

A few red flags in the description, but holy crap that price is attractive. Tempting...

There is already a post for it.

It's still a nice looking bass coming in at $3,250.00 as of a few seconds ago.  Also watching the last bit of the bidding is pleasantly suspenseful, strangely.

Get yourself a Series I Zut! You won't regret it.

Jon,

Indeed.  I have little doubt that is true, and hopefully that goal will be accomplished before too much longer.

Regardless, congratulations to the bass's new owner, and better luck in the future to the other bidders.

Cheers,
Zut

Went for more than I thought, with a possible electronics problem.
