Found this through a very reputable seller who specializes in high-end basses on eBay. My second Alembic, and it's every bit as awesome as my first (a Series I). BTW, I requested information on this bass when I registered it, but obviously you can ignore the other request in the registration. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 6768 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Saturday, July 05, 2008 - 5:59 pm:    Hi Tom, welcome to the board; and congrats on the Essence! mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5665 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, October 23, 2008 - 7:01 pm:    Hi Tom, Here's what I found out about your bass: top: Quilted Maple (noted as "Very Quilted Maple Primo Choice") accent: Walnut pinstripe body: Maple through-body neck: 5-piece Maple with 4 Walnut pinstripes, 34" long scale pickups: Alembic MXY controls: volume, pan, filter, Q switch, mono output birthday: July 28, 1993 originally made for: Guitar Resurrection, Austin, TX There was one previously registered owner in Texas. tomhug Member Username: tomhug Post Number: 86 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Thursday, October 25, 2012 - 8:34 am:    (Resurrecting a very old thread) Thanks Mica, The specs don't say what kind of fretboard wood is used. Do you know, or can you tell from this picture : edwin Senior Member Username: edwin Post Number: 1329 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Thursday, October 25, 2012 - 1:56 pm:    Looks like ebony to me. Ebony can have a variety of colors and patters. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7870 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, October 25, 2012 - 2:30 pm:    Yup. Macassar Ebony is fairly normal for w-i-d-e fingerboards around here. tomhug Member Username: tomhug Post Number: 87 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Friday, October 26, 2012 - 12:22 pm:    Thanks!
