Need to part with my baby

I need to part with my 1976 birds eye maple active 2 octive. Given that this is a collecters item and pricey I need advice on finding a buyer.

steve_90029,  
 
Your profile indicates a serial #75-506  
 
Is it a Series I?
 
Peace,
Darrell

Steve,
I was born in '76 and if the taxman is kind and the wife forgiving, I might be interested. Specs and pictures (pictures pictures) would be good to have.
Thanks in advance,
KFS

The 506 would place it in '76; the '75 in the profile may be a typo.

For Mica or Dave,
Can you please post specs on my #506 1976 Series 1?
Due to the need for a new truck we must part ways and would appreciate any additional info you can provide.
Thanks,
Steve

Steve, my apologies; I did not intend to give the impression that I work at Alembic.  Your request should be directed to Mica or Val.
 
In fact, if I may make two suggestions.  First, start a new thread in this section, putting your request for serial number info in the title line; that way Mica and Val will have a better chance of noticing it when they get a chance to skim through the threads.  And second, you may want to start a new thread in the Swapshop section to post your bass for sale.

Hello Steve,
 
our files don't show much other than it's supposed to be a short scale series bass. Nothing else is recorded, sorry.
