Recently purchased a 5-string Distillate bass from a gentleman in South Carolina. It's still en route to me, but I saw the serial # inside the electronics cavity in the pictures he sent, and was hoping for a little more information than he gave me, which is to say, very little.
Very excited to become part of the Alembic-player family.
Thanks!
