Post by: dutch358 on May 04, 2003, 07:44:25 AM

Mica, Two questions. What can you tell me about my bass? I'm enclosing a picture. Serial # is 81D1996USA. I purchased it at Indianapolis Guitar center in January 2003. Plays and sounds great. I also have ordered a buckey burl custom fretless in progress now. How do I get info on it's progress.(http://club.alembic.com/Images/393/4617.jpg)
