It is a Distillate from 1983, serial number is 83D2625. Has scalloped frets from the 7th to the 24th fret. Any info is greatly appreciated. Here's a pic...

Someone (Mica) will get you the details on you wonderful Distillate in a relativly short amount of time. I am interested in seeing some detailed pictures of the scalloped neck. Enjoy the versatility of your new bass. :-D marwood New Username: marwood Post Number: 4 Registered: 4-2013 Posted on Thursday, April 04, 2013 - 12:29 pm:    Thanks for the kind words!

The neck is likely to be Purpleheart and Maple and a 32" medium scale. The fingerboard must be Ebony. The body is probably Mahogany. marwood New Username: marwood Post Number: 5 Registered: 4-2013 Posted on Friday, April 05, 2013 - 2:02 am:    Thanks Mica. Yep, the body is mahogany, the fretboard is ebony I believe.. I was thinking the top was walnut, although more figured then what I've seen before so I was a little unsure. The neck is maple with 2 mahogany strips running through. that_sustain Intermediate Member Username: that_sustain Post Number: 142 Registered: 8-2012 Posted on Wednesday, April 10, 2013 - 12:53 pm:    Thanks Mica Loving this website
