Hi @ Alembic,
 
have the opportunity to buy an Alembic Stanley Clarke TheLuxe, Ser# 89SC5680. Do you still have the build record of this instrument?
 
Grtz,
Michel

Got some pictures of this instrument. Low detail, but I don't want to keep them from you. Look like a rosewood topping... Hope to post better pics by the end of the week, if/when I'm the new owner ;-)

Thanks Bob,
 
have seen (an heard) it for real, ..., an bought it. Very beautiful instrument. Still complete, including te original paperwork:
 
Built on 12.08.89
Model SC88B
Serial 89SC5680
 
top & back: rosewood
core: mahogany/maple
neck: 5-piece maple/purpleheart
veneers: rosewood
finish: clear

It's in real good shape but needs some cleaning/oiling. Can't wait to play ... ;-)
 
Grtz,

Hi guys,
 
managed to make some photo's outside in spite of the bad weather. I've posted them on the [showcase]-[signature basses] section of this site. Also made pictures of my Persuader bass (87F4513) which can be seen in the [showcase]-[Persuader] section. Oh, uuh, don't mind the nasty crack in the wall ... not my wall ;-)
 
Grtz,
Michel

Hi Michel,
 
Sorry I couldn't complete your request sooner, but it looks like with the original paperwork, you've got most everything you need. I'll still verify next week when I have access to the records room again if there is any repair history to tell you about.

Hi Michael,
 
I checked the file, and all the details you had on the paperwork are in agreement. The only think I can add is that is was originally made for Wils.
