Title: (x) Some extra information perhaps...? 03C12994
Post by: Yaezz on January 19, 2019, 10:30:44 AM

Hi,

I'm very pleased and proud…! I'm the new owner of the "'03 Seismic Bass", a gorgeous featured custom Rogue 5 with zebrano top. She is in very good condition! I see she had several owners… Have you an idea of her history, please…? The only information I have is what I found on the site when she was brandnew... It's for shure my intention to stop her journey, and give her a warm definite home...  ;)

I would like to register as her new owner… How can I do this? I assume I have the original case, but miss the original documents of the bass… Can I get them new, please? Or duplicate? What do you suggest?

Very kind regards, and thanks in advance!

Yaezz

Congratulations & Compliments, and Welcome to the Alembic Club! That is a fine instrument, and shares a distinctive feature with my own Custom Alembic... our headstocks are almost identical.  :)


You can register as its current custodian here: http://www.alembic.com/cgi-bin/register.pl (http://www.alembic.com/cgi-bin/register.pl)


There may also be a Showcase Thread established on "Seismic Bass" but I can't seem to spot it immediately.


Again, Welcome.

I don't have you as the registered owner of this bass yet. Please take a moment and fill out the registration. I can prepare a replacement value statement for you, which has these specification listed and the current retail price so that you can properly insure it.

Thanks Mica,


I just did…  ;) I purchased an Orion 5 (99OW12180) yesterday on ebay.de. As soon as she has arrived, I'll do the same for this bass, okay!
Thanks!
