It's serial 76-488 and it was sold to a Derek Steven here in L.A. in 1985. Has this bass ever been registered to any one else other than me?? I WOULD LOVE TO GET THIS BASS BACK!! Cheers, Marvin Sperling edwin Senior Member Username: edwin Post Number: 1085 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, December 23, 2011 - 10:03 pm:    Good luck, Marvin! Any chance of some pix for those of us on the sidelines? marvinbass New Username: marvinbass Post Number: 6 Registered: 8-2010 Posted on Friday, December 23, 2011 - 11:38 pm:    Thanks Edwin, for your concerns. Wow, I'll try to look around for pics. When I sold it. I had Alembic update the PUP's, Bridge, Tailpiece and Nut. Also I had a Master Volume added ala Serie II. This is a Series I Bass BTW. Happy Holidays!!! marvinbass New Username: marvinbass Post Number: 7 Registered: 8-2010 Posted on Tuesday, December 27, 2011 - 12:53 pm:    Mica, did you ever find any records on this bass. Thank You. marvinbass New Username: marvinbass Post Number: 9 Registered: 8-2010 Posted on Thursday, February 16, 2012 - 1:31 pm:    I get no love from Mica. :-( Has this bass ever been registered other than me? Just a yes or no would suffice. pauldo Senior Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 774 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Thursday, February 16, 2012 - 1:46 pm:    Marvin - it is good to practice patience. Mica and family are very busy keeping the world supplied with top notch instruments and electronics. Give her more time and she will produce as much information as the company has on record. My request took almost three months - it was worth the wait. marvinbass New Username: marvinbass Post Number: 10 Registered: 8-2010 Posted on Thursday, February 16, 2012 - 1:52 pm:    Hi Pauldo, Duly Noted marvinbass Junior Username: marvinbass Post Number: 11 Registered: 8-2010 Posted on Saturday, December 01, 2012 - 10:26 am:    OK, it's been 10 months now. Mica, do you have anything on record?? gtrguy Senior Member Username: gtrguy Post Number: 551 Registered: 9-2004 Posted on Monday, December 03, 2012 - 10:24 am:    BTW, I am pretty sure Alembic does not give out owner details as a matter of policy. They might say yes/no on it being registered. marvinbass Junior Username: marvinbass Post Number: 12 Registered: 8-2010 Posted on Monday, December 03, 2012 - 10:59 am:    Hi gtrguy, I totally realize that. A yes or no would suffice. marvinbass Junior Username: marvinbass Post Number: 13 Registered: 8-2010 Posted on Friday, January 18, 2013 - 11:32 pm:    Hi Mica, have you ever looked into this? Thank You. marvinbass Junior Username: marvinbass Post Number: 14 Registered: 8-2010 Posted on Friday, August 09, 2013 - 10:57 am:    I guess this bass is nonexistent now!! Too Bad. Thanks Mica for no response. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 8015 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, August 09, 2013 - 12:33 pm:    I'm sorry, but I have no other information since you owned the bass. It hasn't been re-registered as far as I can tell. And while any ownership information you don't post yourself is confidential, I would tell you if it was registered, and also try and contact the current owner on your behalf, if there was one to contact. Maybe someone else will spot your old friend someday! marvinbass Junior Username: marvinbass Post Number: 15 Registered: 8-2010 Posted on Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - 12:22 am:    Thanks Mica. I really surprised that this bass never surfaced. Thank You for your response. I wish I could buy one of your instruments. I bought that bass for $1850. Now to buy one it's $18,000.00. marvinbass Junior Username: marvinbass Post Number: 16 Registered: 8-2010 Posted on Wednesday, December 02, 2015 - 8:42 pm:    Today MY SEARCH HAS ENDED!!!!
