USED Alembic/ MSB Series I Zebra [05]

The "1979 MSB Series I" by "ALEMBIC", the originator of high-end basses and a great influence on bass luthiers, has miraculously arrived.

Even after more than 40 years, there is no major damage to the instrument, indicating that it has been taken very good care of.

The wide range of the sound was considered unique at the time, and it was a challenge for those who used them.
The wide variety of filter controls that bring the wide range of sound closer to the range of existing electric guitars and basses is the essence of the variety of sounds that can be found in Alembic instruments.

It would be a bit harsh to compare (or use in the same way) them with Fender Gibsons, etc., because they are so unique, but we invite you to experience this other dimension and use Alembic instruments with your own ideas and sense of style. It will surely open up new avenues for you!

The body is made of top and back of the finest Zebrawood and mahogany core, and the neck is made of maple and purple heart 5PC neck. The head logo is made of sterling silver.

You can hardly find a vintage alembic in such a good condition.
If you have been looking for one, this is your chance.

There are some scratches, dents, weather checks, etc., but considering the age, there are no problems.
It has been set up and ready to play after arrival.
A supply for driving the instrument and a new line cable (both with cannon terminals) that also serves as a power supply are included.
