Welcome and congratulations, very cool looking bass!  I have one with Macassar Ebony top and back too, massive tone (and weight). :)

Looks like maple laminate between the top and Core, I can’t tell the core from your photo, maple and Purple Heart neck, ebony fingerboard.

Might take a little while to get the info from the shop, they are a small crew with lots to do, but they will chime in with the official file info if available.

Very nice!

Supposedly a mahogany core, curious about the yin yang inlay

That last photo looks like mahogany core to me.  Man, that thing is in fantastic condition!  I don’t see a pickup selector switch, so it probably has a pickup pan control and is likely signature electronics (Vol, pan, low pass filter x2, Q x2). So each pickup has a filter and Q switch.

Thanks for the info, always wanted to try an Alembic but never got the chance, I have a few nice vintage USA BC Rich basses. This one came up for a reasonable price, supposedly it's basically about unplayed, just has some minor fret sprout I'll get taken care of

I'm marking this with a (u) but it may have been overlooked because the serial number wasn't in the title. We will take another look this week to see if this file can be located.
