Welcome to the club, Jim.

Yep, they're pretty amazing instruments. Within a small number of days you should get an official report based on the serial number, but in the meantime you might say a few words about the woods, or hey, maybe even throw up a picture?

Of course, if you're too busy playing, *some* of us will understand...

There is an owner's manual here on the Alembic site, which can be printed out. Check the site index under "The Support". It explains many of the unique features of Alembic instruments.
One of the first things I learned 5 years ago (with my first Alembic) was that unless you have a Series quitar or bass with the external power supply, the battery is in use whenever the bass is plugged in. If left plugged in, the battery will drain. With side leds, there is a separate compartment for 4 addditional 9 volt batteries, which only power the leds.

Welcome aboard Jim! Sounds like a cool bass. We'd love to see pictures when you can.
