This bass which I bought in the late 80's was a Squier P bass with a JV serial number, one of the early ones made in Japan(now quite sought after!). It has gone through a few changes since then, the first was an Alembic P/J installation with twin volumes, bass & treble, it then gained a Baddas II bridge(also getting rare as they are not made anymore). It was handed to my son in this form when he began playing in bands at the age of 15. He is now 34 and still playing but now this bass sports a Fender roasted maple neck but just recently the neck has been modified by a local luthier in Teesside UK. My son took my MK Signature to him where he measured the fingerboard radius and Phillip(my son) e mailed Mica to inquire about what fret wire they use at Alembic. The luthier got some of the aforementioned fretwire and has reshaped the fretboard profile as the same as the MK and installed the frets. The only parts that remain are the tuners and the body!
