Title: 1989 Burl Maple Series II 89-5697
Post by: rparis on January 28, 2016, 12:35:38 PM
I am the original owner of this instrument, in fact, this bass was featured in the Alembic catalogue in the late 1980's.  I added red side LED's and upgraded to Series II electronics upon purchase prior to shipping.  It already had a 7 piece purple heart/maple neck so it was destined to become a Series II all along.  Long scale 34" neck, oval inlays, gold tuners, includes power supply and 5 pin cord, bookmatched top, back, and peghead.  Condition is near mint.  Serial #89-5697 completed on Dec. 21, 1989.  Asking $8250.00.  Contact me for additional pics and info.  Thanks.

Extremely nice!   This one was in both the 1989 and the 2000 catalogue:

Good Golly, that's just about the prettiest bass that's come across the boards in a while... there's just something about that aged maple/purpleheart combination. Feel like I'm getting a sneak-peek at mine. =)
