Hi, I bought this Series I from London Bass Centre in January 1990. I noticed there is a "sisterbass" 75-145 mentioned here earlier. Mine is just the same but just to make sure please dig in Your archives. Thanks! all the bass! Jan | ||

Howdy, the serial number you have posted is actually the serial number of my Alembic. There are pics in the archives of serial number requests; http://alembic.com/club/messages/394/24142.html?1139338367 Come to think of it, I don't think I ever received the info on my bass when I posted that request. | ||

According to this link 75-143 was a duplicate serial number. Look at Mica's first post in that thread. Looks you both (Jan and Kevin) own 75-143. That's if I understood what I read correctly. Olie | ||

You know Olie, you are right, I do recall something about a sister bass with the same number. Sure would like to see some pics of her. Thanks kindly. Kev | ||

Hi Jan, how's Turku these days? All Alembics safe and well on board? I guess you must be dwelling some other side of the globe? The street of Madagascar perhaps?? Have a safe trip! Paul TBO | ||

The mystery of the duplicate 75-143 is solved. Cap, your bass is top and back: Angico core: Birch neck: Walnut and Maple scale: 30.75" short fingerboard: Ebony The original owner purchased the bass directly from us, only his name in in the file. The birthday is not in the file. I have a registration form from you in 2003 though! Kev, Your bass is: top and back: California Walnut core: Black Walnut neck: Walnut and Maple scale: 30.75" short fingerboard: Ebony inlays: mother of pearl peghead veneers: Walnut No ownership details in the file except a note that you are the current owner as of 01-23-06. Birthday was also omitted from the original record. | ||

Hello All. I was looking for an old bass I used to own and found it in this forum. The serial was 75-143. I purchased it in 1975 from Guitar Center in Hollywood, and sold it back to them in 1979. I see Kevin got it in 1980. Glad to see it has a good home. Here's a picture of it, when I owned it. Thanks all..  | ||
