Yay for me! I got my 2nd Alembic, this time a 4-string Essence. Can I get whatever info you have on it?

Thanks,
Rob

Of course, pictures.....

This bass has some interesting wear and mojo.

Hi Rob,

Here's what I found in the instrument file for your new-to-you-bass:

serial number: 91K6529
top: Flame Maple
accent: Walnut pinstripe
body: Maple
neck: 3-piece Maple
scale: 34" long
fingerboard: Ebony
inlays: none
pickups: MXY4
controls: "Essence" volume, pan, filter, mono output
originally made for: Zone Music, CA
birthday: May 15, 1991

This was made at the time where Essence basses came exactly one way. Looks like this has been well-loved these past 26 years.
