Hi Jimmy,

Here's what I found out about your Series I bass:

81-1798 MSB-I:

top and back: Koa
body: Mahogany
neck: Maple and Purpleheart, 32" medium scale
fingerboard: Ebony with mother of pearl oval inlays
originally sold to: Guitar Center
birthday: March 18, 1981

The 1/4" is a stereo jack, so if you use a regular mono guitar cable, you will only get sound from one pickup. I can mail a service sheet to you with instructions on how to rewire the jack to mono. Just email your mailing address to me mica@alembic.com

Until you change the 1/4" outpu to mono, you can use it directly with headphones.

Please note that the internal batteries will only last about 40 hours on this model. It's the primary reason Series I and II basses come with a power supply.

If you haven't already registered your bass, please do so.

Hope you are enjoying your new-to-you bass!
