Just bought my 1st Alembic and love it. It's so well taken care of, it's hard to believe it's in such great condition for a 26-year old bass. I'm just wondering what history there is on this bass, so I thought I'd enter the request. It is my first Alembic, but not my last! Thanks so much!!

No hurry, just wondering if there is no info on this Persuader because many other requests were filled since it was entered. My profile got corrupted also, so I'm just checking. Thanks!

The archive is a hard copy card file. Requests are handled when Mica has some free time which isn't often so it can take a long while to get the information posted.

Dan, the good news is that Mica is finding time to do these lookups, and she is trying to strike a balance between long-standing requests and more recent ones. None will be skipped!

Again...thank you. I certainly appreciate the opportunity to learn more about this bass I bought on eBay?.I guess I just don't understand the process of looking up records as well as you Adriaan.
