Hi I'm new here but I owned this bass almost 20 years.

I bought it in Seoul, Korea 2002. At that it has some bad condition. output jack was ripped off, original pickup was about to break down.
One of tuning peg is changed with cheap thing, frets worn out awfully.

Around 2003 ~ 2004, I changed pickup in Korean Alembic dealor's shop. because original one lost it's output day by day. I believed.
Then I lost original spoiler's circuit. and I should have gotten the original back, but I was just young boy didn't know anything. haha

Later I learned how to repair the guitars. I changed machine head, refret...
This bass is still great. neck is absolutely good, awesome sound.

Here is serial number.
83S2771

Can I get my information of my bass?

Thank you Mica!
It was delivered to Korea! I never imagined that Alembic had a deal with Korea for a long time.
And I thought body wood is mahogany. surprise again!
