I am the original owner of this instrument, in fact, this bass was featured in the Alembic catalogue in the late 1980's. I added red side LED's and upgraded to Series II electronics upon purchase prior to shipping. It already had a 7 piece purple heart/maple neck so it was destined to become a Series II all along. Long scale 34" neck, oval inlays, gold tuners, includes power supply and 5 pin cord, bookmatched top, back, and peghead. Condition is near mint. Serial #89-5697 completed on Dec. 21, 1989. Asking $8250.00. Contact me for additional pics and info. Thanks.

Extremely nice! This one was in both the 1989 and the 2000 catalogue:

Same problem here, in dire need of more cash... :-(

I am confused... Dec 212 1989 would be June 30 1990?

Sorry just kiddin', good luck with the sale!

Good Golly, that's just about the prettiest bass that's come across the boards in a while... there's just something about that aged maple/purpleheart combination. Feel like I'm getting a sneak-peek at mine. =)
