Hi,
I've owned (and loved) this bass since about 1990. Do you have any info on it's birth?

Thanks in advance!

Hi John,

Here's the details I found in the instrument file:

top: Bird's-eye Maple
body: Mahogany
neck: Maple
scale: 32" medium
fingerboard: Ebony
inlays: Pearloid (plastic) ovals
pickups: PJ Alembic Activator
originally made for: not recorded
birthday: July 2, 1985

There is an upgrade available for this model since the pickup outputs are wildly different. You can see the details here (https://alembic.stores.yahoo.net/panpreamp.html).

Glad to hear you are loving the bass!
