My research hasn't brought me either of these files, unless 086 is from the AE or AC series, which I think may be possible since it has a preceding 0 in front of the number. Eiji has already suggested this with his research.

I have the file file for AE76-086, where the AE in the record is sort of squished in, looks like it was added later to me, and may not be on the bass if that's the case (so confusing!). Here's what AE76-086 record says:

top and back: Purpleheart
body: Koa
through-body neck: Maple and Purpleheart, 34 long scale
fingerboard: Rosewood with mother of pearl oval inlays
peghead veneers: Padouk (Vermilion)

If we could find out the 3-digit number written on the preamp card inside the bass, or on one of the pots, we can confirm the identity of this bass.

I could not find any record for 025 in AC or AE sequence.

Mica, my doubleneck should be AC-025. I have it written two ways: #75-025AC is the way it's written on a letter to the previous owner, and the headstocks are stamped AC 025 & 75-025.

Hello Mica. Thank you for your answer. I think that AE76-086 must be the defretted bass of Francis; and I will ask him this 3-digit number. You say Purpleheart top and back. On the photo above it seems more red than purple, is it because of all this years? or maybe a rare piece of Purpleheart...?

Hi Christophe.
Encore moi.
I own Serie 1 AE 76 069!
She is from March 31 1976, so, as the serial numbers are so close, it would seem that Dariz's bass is definitely a 1976 model, probably made 2 or 3 months after mine.
That would make her around Mai 1976.

AE 76-086 is older than me(4 months)!!!!! What is your AE 76-069 looking like? Christophe

Hello George. Your bass is beautiful, and its( sorry, her.... I saw you were talking about your bass like if it was a woman) hardshell case too. Denny is between Glasgow and Rosyth by the non-toll road, isn't it?

I've gone 2 times in Glasgow to unload and reload my lorry: I'm lorry driver in Norbert Dentressangle, you know, the reds....!!! Have a nice day my friend and like the Brian May arrangement God save the Queen!!!!!
......I know, I know, you are Scottish...

georgie_boy · « **Reply #25 on:** November 07, 2008, 02:04:36 AM »

Hi Christophe.
Thankyou for the kind words about my bass!
Yes Denny is a small town about 30Km from Glasgow
I know little Norbert from the time I used to drive lorries for Giraud in France. I used to live in Department 93 near Bobigny!
If you come back to Scotland, send me an E Mail, and I'll meet you.
Glad to see you realise the difference between Scotland and England!

Take care my friend

George

Hello George. OK, if I come back in Scotland I'll send you a e-mail and that will be an honour to meet you. Question, I know that noone of the band was playing an Alembic, but do you love Queen? (before Freddie Mercury's death)

Brilliant!!
I saw them at Wembley in Londres in 1985 at the LIVE AID concert.
I lived in london for 14 years
