20th Anniversary basses question

[Markie 2869]

Hi, I have just became the owner of my first 20th Anniversary bass.
Been twenty years since i had to let go my series II.
Could anyone tell me how many of the 200 instruments were 32” scale.
And how many were 32” scale with Maple facings?
Many thanks, Mark P

Welcome Mark, and congratulations on that new-to-you bass. I remember asking the question but not the full answer. I think it goes something like; they made a total of 200, but didn't track how many in which wood combination or which scale length. Because I'm a complete washout for this kind of minutiae, I happen to know there are at least two 5-string Anniversary Models, one in walnut the other in maple.


Here is a thread from a few years ago with a few shards of info. https://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=26513.msg270867#msg270867
