I am trying to find out whatever information I can on this 8 string bass. I have an elderly gentleman that had this built for him and never really used it. I am trying to sell it for him if you know of any interested parties. I will be listing it on this forum and then probably on ebay. Thanks | ||

Could the second 2 be an "S" instead? | ||

82 2032 would indicate a Series instrument - the 2032 number seems to be in the correct range for 1982. An S would indicate a Spoiler, but that would have a serial 82S2032 | ||

Definitely no Spoiler, this is a series I or II with a Graphite Neck! Is it a fretless? Can't tell from the picture... Nice bass! | ||

The serial would 82 2032 where the '82' is the year and the rest is the serial. If I see the controls correctly it looks like a Series II. The graphite neck is not common nor do they come up that often. Mica should be able to give more details from the build record. Keith | ||

Thanks for everyones help in getting the information and helping with posting the pictures. You can use the link that Eiji posted and see more pictures that I had provided to Nigel in 2004. I as I originally posted he is looking to sell this again and has lowered his reserve to $6000. He has fell onto some really bad financial problems and hopes to sell this. I am moving some of his other equipment for him on ebay my sellers name is dfeinauer6zlo, if you want to see who I am and where it is located. I haven't posted this on ebay thought I would offer it here first to all of you true Alembic fans. | ||

It's no problem ! The bass was very impressive one for us. Several club members had bidding when the bass on the eBay, but anybody couldn't touch it. Eiji |
