Alembic '78' Ssb/series I Used Bass Guitar 1978
Alembic stands out among numerous high-end manufacturers, radiating a unique brilliance with its production concept and sophisticated original circuitry.
This particular bass, based on the headstock serial number, is a 1978 SSB (Short Scale Bass) / Series I.
Thanks to its unique electronics, circuitry, and through-neck construction, it achieves solid sustain and uniform response from low to high frequencies, which is surprising for a short-scale bass.
While there are signs of use commensurate with its age, such as dents and tarnishing of parts, and some paint cracks due to age, the overall appearance is excellent, and there are no issues that would affect its functionality.
The frets show almost no wear and have plenty of life left. The neck condition is good, the truss rod is functioning perfectly, and there is still room for adjustment, so it can be used without any problems.
This is a rare used item of an extremely rare model. Please take this opportunity to try it out.
(It can also be powered by an 18V battery, but in that case, only the front pickup will output with a standard cable. Even when using a power supply, only one output at a time will be available for the BASS (front pickup) and TREBLE (rear pickup) with a standard cable. Please note that this is by design.)
