That was my bass for a good while.  It can be heard and seen on Youtube on the James Demeter demo video for his combo amp.  One of the best I have had for sure.

Not sure if this is still available.  It doesn't show up when I search the reverb site using:

Alembic Distillate Scorpion 1983

Shows up as "sold" for me... cool bass. My first Alembic was a 1983 Koa Distillate. Bummed that I have zero pictures of the bass and often wonder where it is now.

I don't know from Demeter amps, but that is one fine looking bass player in that vid'.  Must be a "Californian"  ;)
