I simply cannot wait! I've been lusting after an Alembic for 22 years, and finally found the right fit at the right time. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5451 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2008 - 3:39 pm:    Hi Michael, Here's the details from the instrument file: top: Flame Maple accent: Maple and Purpleheart double pinstripe body: Mahogany set neck: 3-piece Maple with 2 Walnut pinstripes, 34" long scale fingerboard: Ebony with pearloid ovals birthday: not recorded, but likely late July 1998 Confirming that the #32/60 is correct. This was a special edition bass that was made for Guitar Center as an anniversary model exclusively for them. The double pinstripe, brass plates, premium Flame Maple top, and pearloid oval inlays distinguish these special edition basses from standard Epics. In 2004 the bass was registered as a used instrument by a person in MN. wm_swartz New Username: wm_swartz Post Number: 7 Registered: 3-2008 Posted on Friday, August 22, 2008 - 1:07 pm:    Thank you. This is a fine bass.
