Hi,
 
Can I get the history/service on Serial # 97 10478.  The present owner has indicated it as an Alembic Series I (with several SeriesII electronics) Model SI LSB-4.
 
Thanks

Hi Mica:  
 
This bass may have been stolen not sure. Ebay has pulled the listing as the seller was not a registered user and there may be fraud involved. I did not copy the pics but there was a wall rug?? with word BRASIL written on it.
