Hi folks, i got this one last week from a bassist in belgium, nice guy and a good player as well. He made me a great deal on it, this bass
is from 1990 and is still in a great shape. There is only one issue at the upper horn, where a pre-owner screwed a whole for a strap (very dumb), he felt probably uncomfortable with the regular strap position of the short scale alembics. I have a luthier who will make it almost invisible. Anything else is just like new.
It has red side dots. The neck is unbelievable to play,i never held a bass like this into my hands.
The bass is still tuned  A D G C (that?s tenor, isn?t it?) and sounds 100% like Stanleys shorty.
So finally i got 4 alembics (2 seriesI, 1 custom made and this one) and each sounds different, very unique but still always like an alembic.
Here comes the pictures:
