I would like the info on my bass as well as an approximate current and replacement value for insurance if possible. thanks!!!

The first two numbers of the serial number will be the year it was produced- so as you have it, the instrument was built in 2006. The 3rd character should be a letter. That letter will tell you what model you have. So rather than a '4' there, what you have is a letter. If the numbers/letter are hard to read, I'm guessing it might be that the '06 you're reading is '86 and that you're dealing with a 25 year old engraving on the truss rod cover... that would make it harder to read. If you can post or drop a link to a couple pictures of the instruments, we could probably help out here while you wait for the official look-up from Mica.

Actually I found a stamp on the last fret I think it is 86S3884 it is really worn...I know its a spoiler cause i had the exact same one back in the early 80's. Here is a couple pics too THANKS!! artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1566 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Sunday, August 07, 2011 - 8:05 am:    Vic, the number that you show in the thread title does not appear to be a valid serial number for an Alembic instrument. I too suggest taking some pictures of the instrument so that others can help identify. Once a correct serial number is established I will change the title to reflect the correction.

I did change the title to reflect the proper serial number. tbrannon Senior Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 1418 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Sunday, August 07, 2011 - 8:27 am:    Looks like a zebrawood topped Spoiler to me. Fantastic looking top and it looks like a Mahogany body from what you can see in a couple pictures. Nice bass!! vegasvic21 New Username: vegasvic21 Post Number: 9 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Monday, August 08, 2011 - 2:02 am:    Thanks tbrannon!! vegasvic21 New Username: vegasvic21 Post Number: 10 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Saturday, December 24, 2011 - 3:31 am:    Hi Any news on my request??
