Alembic Clarke Deluxe Cocobolo Top/Back Ebony Fingerboard (Serial #SC14730)

It was 1973 and Stanley Clarke just got his first short scale Alembic. Your world changed the first time you listened to it, and you just couldn’t get that sound out of your head. That sound was Stanley’s amazing talent and tone. Part of that sonic memory was because he was playing an Alembic bass, and it may have been the first time you ever heard one.When you pick up a Stanley Clarke Signature bass you immediately notice how easy it is to play. That's largely due to the short scale length. At 30.75 inches, the scale length is exactly what Stan plays, to the surprise of many. When the frets are closer together, your fretting hand can enjoy a less stretched position at the lower frets, which is a joy for hands large and small alike.Serial #: SC14730Weight: 9lbs 11.7ozScale Length: 30.75 inNeck Woods: 5piece: Maple with Purpleheart laminatesFingerboard: EbonyInlays: Abalone OvalsSide Dots: Violet LEDs Set in Sterling SilverBackplates: Continuous WoodNut Width: 1.5 in24th Fret Width: 2.15 inPeghead: Alembic Crown Bevel on front and backHeadstock: Sterling Silver Alembic inlaid logo with mother of pearl andabaloneTruss Rods: Dual, Body AdjustTop and Back: Coco BoloBody Wood: MahoganySandwich: Coco Bolo, Maple, Mahogany, Maple, Coco BoloBody Depth: 1.55 inFinish: Polyester gloss with satin neckPickups: Alembic AXYElectronics: Alembic SignatureControls: Volume, pan, filter x2, 2position Qswitch x2Backplates: BrassBridge: Solid brass, polishedTailpiece: Solid brass birdNut: height adjustable solid brassStraplocks: GoldTuners: Alembic Gotoh GoldHardware: Alembic Solid BrassMachine Heads: Gold AlembicGotohOverall Dimensions: About 13.5″ x 43″Origin: 100% Made in Santa Rosa, CA USACase: Hardshell
