Eric,
There was a previous look-up request here (http://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=5713) from last year where Mica reported the file AWOL   I'm sure with another request Mica will try to find the file again.  Are you the current owner?  If so I hope that you are enjoying the bass!

Hi Eric,  
 
Here's the details I found out about your bass:
 
 
body: Solid Koa
neck: 3-piece Maple
scale: 32 medium
fingerboard: Ebony
inlays: Pearloid ovals
pickups: AXY
controls: Spoiler volume, filter, 2-position Q-switch, 4-position rotary pickup selector switch, mono output
originally made for: Guitar Center, Hollywood, CA
birthday: August 24, 1982 (virgo)
 
The original owner lived in Oregon and registered in 1983.
 
In 1988 a registered owner in California reported buying the bass for $100!  
 
The bass was refretted before it was shipped. Apparently the original fret job did not pass inspection.
