100% Zebrawood.

Thank you Mica.  The original owner named this bass Leviathan according to a link upthread.  Do have any recollection of "another" Leviathan?  Seems like an appropriate name for this beast.

😄 No help/enabling from me Gary, I actually sold and gifted a bunch of my instruments when that chapter of life was being read aloud. Just two Alembics, the rest were an assortment of acoustic and electric guitars, etc. It wasn't that I needed the money, just that the basses needed to be played more.

Looks like the owner has dropped in on us here, (upthread) so now you can contact directly.

.  Ahhh there it is. I thought I saw the Zebrawood somewhere.

I live about 20 minutes south of Raleigh in Southern Wake County. If a potential buyer wants me to give the instrument a look over and the seller is ok with that let me know. I don't want to get involved with an escrow situation as I don't want to be responsible for shipping but looking the instrument over and vouching that it is where the listing says it is isn't a problem.

Thanks for the offer, but that will not be needed. 

Looks like the listing has ended... and maybe Gary's got some 'splainin' to do... 🤫😄

I really like the fact that Gary posted this twice!

Now the fretting begins on a safe transit back to the West Coast!  Like worrying about your Grandmas dining room table arriving in one piece!

Very happy ending!  Have fun Gary.

Leviathan arrived today here on the West Coast. Yer gonna ask...17.2lbs!
Got the 5 siblings out on stands.....going in for neck surgery in 12 hours and will have a 10lb weight lift restriction for weeks. At least they're all out beforehand. The crazy-big Amp with the ELF integrator is out too. I find it. Very comfortable to play seated.
I'll post pictures when I'm able to safely handle the weight. I need to properly document all 6 here on the site in their proper categories.
I've owned Alembics for 30 years and this is my first Series 1.

Got a question for y'all. At 44 Years old, the Anvil flight case interior has dissolved , anyone know where to restore a case interior? The outside is in remarkable shape. 

See ya on the other side in a few days. My current left arm paralysis didn't completely prevent me from playing it. This will be a great incentive in my PT / recovery.  Getting C5 vertebrate removed but no guarantee on reversal of partial paralysis.
