History request for Alembic Essence 6-string No. 94 K 6399 - Hi Mica, I just acquired the above bass by swopping my Musicman 5 string Bongo for it. I would appreciate the data from its file - what sort of wood is used as the cover laminate? (This will be my second Alembic - I also own an Alembic Spoiler - shown at showcase hyperlink -http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/33219.html?1164220137 , and identified by you at hyperlink -http://alembic.com/club/messages/394/33168.html?1163952361.) Many Thanks, Kevin. | ||

Maybe it's this one. The serial number for 1994 are in the 8000 range. Sometimes the stamping is not that clear. Here is a previous request; http://alembic.com/club/messages/394/28146.html?1156278975 Slawie | ||

Correction- Its Alembic Essence 6-string No. 94 K 8399 ! Dear Slawie, thank you for an inspired piece of detective work - on closer inspection in good light, the last four digits were "8399" not "6399". The number stamp left the right-hand side of the top part of the "8" open, so that it looked like a "6". Mystery is solved, thanks. The identification link you gave me would be therefore correct:- "Alembic Essence 6-string No. 94 K 8399 - top: Bubinga accent: Maple pinstripe body: Mahogany neck: Maple with Walnut pinstripes, 34" long scale fingerboard: Ebony, no inlays pickups: MXY56 controls: volume, pan, filter, mono output birthday: June 17, 1994 originally made for: Guitar Center" The bass used to be played by an American friend of mine in Ireland (a very fine bass and guitar player) whose life was tragically cut short by a car crash in foggy weather on the way home from a gig. | ||
