Hi Mica, Keith,  et al...

I was wondering if you could possibly look up the build specs for my Alembics - a Persuader and a Spoiler, that I purchased on the same day from Manny's Music in NYC.

I had put the spec sheets in a safe place, so of course I haven't seen them in over 30 odd years.

Any help would be greatly appreciated  !

I also noticed that the Serial Numbers indicate that they were manufactured 176 Basses apart. 

How many days would that translate to in build time ?

Thanks !

Nice ones!

From previous lookups: 4630 completed November 11, 1987 and 4800 completed February 26, 1988

Thanks...

And thanks for the heads up of approximate build dates.

That answers my question about how many days were inbetween the manufacture of each Bass (Roughly 90 days,  180 Bass / Guitars).
