The serial nr is 91SC6692. Thanks for your reply, Stefan artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1490 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Monday, May 09, 2011 - 6:13 am:    Stefan, When looking at the sale of an instrument please be aware that this service may take several months to complete and the window of opportunity may pass. You may try and call the office and if the information can be located they will gladly assist. Thanks for understanding that this free service isn’t always expeditious due to the demanding schedule in Santa Rosa. Thanks, Art tbrannon Senior Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 1358 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Monday, May 09, 2011 - 6:42 am:    Stefan, Art gave you some good advice- If you're able to post a link to the sale or post a picture, the group here on the forum should be able to help you out with most of the options. stefanz New Username: stefanz Post Number: 2 Registered: 12-2010 Posted on Monday, May 09, 2011 - 8:01 am:    Artswork99 and tbrannon, Thanks for your replies and the warning. I have a photo. One of the questions I have is about the wood used. The advert says it is Cocobolo but I am not sure about that. Looks more like the standard choice Rosewood. artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1492 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Monday, May 09, 2011 - 8:56 am:    Beautiful bass, looks more like Rosewood. stefanz New Username: stefanz Post Number: 3 Registered: 12-2010 Posted on Monday, May 09, 2011 - 9:23 am:    HOLD THE PRESS ...... I questioned the top wood with the seller and he said that the photo I got is not actually from the bass for sale. The earlier photo is taken from the Internet. (probably a seller that thinks that Alembic's are mass production stock items....) The following photo is the photo of the actual bass for sale. This looks more like coco bolo .. tbrannon Senior Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 1359 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Monday, May 09, 2011 - 10:09 am:    Sure looks like cocobolo to me in that picture. Signature electronics (Volume, pan, filter, filter + 2 Q switches). The purpleheart neck laminates make it a Signature Deluxe. With that body shape, you can almost be certain it's a 30.75" scale length. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 8425 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, February 26, 2015 - 5:47 pm:    Here's what I found in the file: top: Indian Rosewood accent: Maple laminate body: Mahogany back: Indian Rosewood neck: 5-piece Maple and Purpleheart scale: 30.75" short fingerboard: Ebony inlays: Pearloid (plastic) ovals pickups: AXY controls: Signature originally made for: Bass Centre, London birthday: August 15, 1991 The original owner, and the next three were all in England.
