Any info would be appreciated. Maybe a custom scorpion. Orange in color (head, neck and body) with maroon striping center bottom front body and center bottom back body, neck and head. Secondly, the sale does not come with the original power - please advise if one is required and if so where can one be acquired. room037 Senior Member Username: room037 Post Number: 473 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Sunday, January 13, 2013 - 8:11 pm:    Hi, I know 76-370 with Scorpion body in my archives. This bass has Birds eye maple top and back in nice aged orange color.

The "maroon stripes" are purpleheart laminates in the neck; this one is the only one I've seen with the non-parallell ones. Enjoy it!

Somebody was having fun at the factory! room037 Senior Member Username: room037 Post Number: 474 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Monday, January 14, 2013 - 12:30 am:    Now I found another your thread with this bass. It was appeared on eBay 2006 (reserve not met). Then it has been hanging on the wall of Guitar Center Vintage shop. Serial number prints are often difficult to reading. I checked again other photo in my archive, the serial is looks like 570.

Any info available from Alembic or others familiar with the bass would be appreciated.

Buzzy certainly was around - I wonder how much time this bass followed him. lyla53 New Username: lyla53 Post Number: 9 Registered: 12-2012 Posted on Monday, January 14, 2013 - 8:49 pm:    and a few pix if what was inside lyla53 Junior Username: lyla53 Post Number: 12 Registered: 12-2012 Posted on Tuesday, January 15, 2013 - 10:29 am:    Please disregard this inquiry - I have learned all I need to know about this bass.
