I just purchased an Alembic Excel 5-string fretless in amazing condition and perfect-working order. This bass looks pretty much brand-new and is the coolest design I have ever seen for a bass! I was told it was made with a very rare and beautiful wood called Canary Wood. The top and headstock is Canary wood, the body is Ash, the neck is Maple, and the fretboard is Pau-Ferro. Can this be confirmed by the serial number? It looks much more conservative that the more elaborated designed models. I don't like all the frosting that is available and this base is just what I was looking for in a bass instrument. The simple beauty of this instrument is what attracted me to it apart from the sound. It only has one pickup near the bridge and I hope it can produce the sound I dream of from a bass as I get to know it better. What can you tell me about it including date manufactured, etc.? Thanks!
