(x) Some extra information perhaps...? 03C12994
« on: January 19, 2019, 10:30:44 AM »
Hi,

I'm very pleased and proud…! I'm the new owner of the "'03 Seismic Bass", a gorgeous featured custom Rogue 5 with zebrano top. She is in very good condition! I see she had several owners… Have you an idea of her history, please…? The only information I have is what I found on the site when she was brandnew... It's for shure my intention to stop her journey, and give her a warm definite home...  ;)

I would like to register as her new owner… How can I do this? I assume I have the original case, but miss the original documents of the bass… Can I get them new, please? Or duplicate? What do you suggest?

Very kind regards, and thanks in advance!

Yaezz

Congratulations & Compliments, and Welcome to the Alembic Club! That is a fine instrument, and shares a distinctive feature with my own Custom Alembic... our headstocks are almost identical.  :)


You can register as its current custodian here: http://www.alembic.com/cgi-bin/register.pl


There may also be a Showcase Thread established on "Seismic Bass" but I can't seem to spot it immediately.


Again, Welcome.

Congrats, I almost bought that bass a month ago, luckily you got it! Keep it in good health! That bass sounds great!
The bass player’s function, along with the drums, is to be the engine that drives the car… everything else is merely colours.

Hi Yasmine,

Here's a summary from the instrument file, though there's more details on the Featured Custom page for this bass:

top: Flatsawn Zebawood
accent: Purpleheart
body: Mahogany
back: Flatsawn Zebrawood
neck: 7-piece Maple and Purpleheart
scale: long 34"
fingerboard: Ebony
inlays: Pearloid (plastic) ovals
side markers: red LEDs in sterling silver
pickups: MXY56
controls: "Signature" volume, pan, filter x2, Q-switch x2, mono output
hardware: chrome plated
knobs: top hat
birthday: April 8, 2003
notes: flatter neck carve, heel carved to a gradual slope, strings a "good" 1/8" away from edge of fingerboard

I don't have you as the registered owner of this bass yet. Please take a moment and fill out the registration. I can prepare a replacement value statement for you, which has these specification listed and the current retail price so that you can properly insure it.

Thanks Mica,


I just did…  ;) I purchased an Orion 5 (99OW12180) yesterday on ebay.de. As soon as she has arrived, I'll do the same for this bass, okay!
Thanks!
