Wow, that thing is really clean, looks like it came straight out of the factory! 

Score! 

Enjoy!

Cool, you don't see a lot of these in a 34'' scale. I have a 34'' '86 Distillate with a beautiful walnut top. A great "first Alembic"!

32'' scale?

I received more information from Mica, and stand corrected. The seller had it listed as 34", however, the build record states it is 32".

Funny, the exact opposite happened to me. Listed as 32'', but actually 34''. All good though, the seller discovered this before shipping and offered to let me back out of the deal. It's a spectacular bass, glad I went for it anyway.
