Turns out another member posted a photo from their own archives that appears to be a perfect match in terms of the wood grain. He (room037) posted the photo and he has it listed as 74-86. Would you be able to lookup and post the build record for that bass? I'm re-posting my picture of the re-finished bass for the sake of comparison. When it was re-wired, the pickups changed positions - the darker one was moved to the bass position. Thanks very much, Todd Here is the link: http://alembic.com/club/messages/395/61876.html?1237003320 toddharris Advanced Member Username: toddharris Post Number: 317 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Thursday, April 28, 2011 - 7:04 am:    mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 8748 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, December 18, 2015 - 6:58 pm:    I think Eiji has solved your problem. The card for 86 was filed away in correctly, but I managed to find it today! From looking at all the images I have of this bass, and with Eiji's impeccable record keeping, we all know know this bass' true identity. Here's the SCANT details from the file: serial number: 74-86 top: Maple (Western) body: Mahogany back: Maple (Western) neck: 5-piece Walnut and Maple scale: 30.75" short peghead veneers: Flame Mahogany (sample) controls: PF6 There is an undated note of a new owner in Virginia, and now I can add you. Hi number 86! So glad we know your name now! edwardofhuncote Senior Member Username: edwardofhuncote Post Number: 729 Registered: 6-2014 Posted on Friday, December 18, 2015 - 7:33 pm:    Yes Virginia, there is an Alembic here!!!

Eiji, Mica, you're the best. C'mon, where's the photographic history of early Series basse?
