Um... no photos of the back, either... no description other than "mint?"

Or, maybe just a lefty turned righty? I know that's kinda goofy, but that's what happened to my '73 Rick 4001. Twice, in fact; but it's back to lefty, and staying that way. If you have the $$$s, Alembic will do whatever you want, to your bass. Or, maybe it just looks too weird, which can be a problem with a custom anything. If you can't find a buyer who likes exactly what you like, you're liable to be SOL. Even if that thing was a lefty, I doubt I'd want it; especially if that DIN jack is for an external pre-amp. Alembic electronics get waay too complicated for me, anyway; I'm still not sure I have the knobs on my Epic figured out...:)

"This is a relisting. After the initial listing I discovered this bass was a lefty to righty swap. That is the reason for the unmatched panel on the front."
