Yes. It's bookmatched cocobola. Mica at Alembic calls it the great red spot bass and it was built as a custom. The LED pack was included in the build spec. Series Alembics generally have a 5 pin XLR for +-15volts and stereo output. You can use a 1/4 Jack which switches over to internal batteries, but life is short. The Alembic XLR leads are amazingly reliable so pretty much everyone uses them. My son does post here as JackPlug. he has a few other Alembics, with and without LEDs. His series 2 has blue side markers so I guess Josie wont like that either. She might like his Wolf which has no LEDs, no XLR and probably enough strings for Woodinblack. Each to their own.

That particular Alembic is mine. I lent it to my son who was playing at the festival so he didnt have to bring one of his Alembics up from London. It's a series 1 with moderate customising. Series 2 electronics. It has red side marker LEDs as well as the fret markers. The markers have a dimmer on the front so you can turn them down or off if you want. Its the bottom knob on the picture. The LEDs only illuminate when it's powered from the DS5 power supply. They dont come on when using battery power. It had LEDS when I bought it. I like them. Each to their own.
