There are no registered owners of this bass. If you haven't done so already, please  register (http://www.alembic.com/cgi-bin/register.pl) your bass.
 
I don't recall who S.N.M. is, but my mom thinks it might have been a one-time sale to Russia. Hope this helps.

I think it's a company name, and if I ever remember or find out, I'll let you know!

Mark, if your Dad does computers maybe he can drop by, introduce himself, and post some pictures.  As a fellow Epic guy I'd love to see it.
