Hi Mica,
Please register this bass in my name - received it today and found it to be virtually unused and about mint!!! Hope you can find the build card and let me know as much as can be known. I'm feeling very lucky tonight!!! Amazing finish, condition, weight (8.4 lbs) and feel - so clean - great fingerboard and frets.. Oooooohhhhhh!!!!!! Thanks, Todd

Good thought and though an Alembic by any other name is... I'm trying to think of some suitable monikers - Sleeping Beauty and Rip (Rip Van Winkle) come to mind!

Hi Wilfred,
A message appeared on this site asking about the value of a near mint time-capsule 75 series bass and indicating the owner was looking to sell. I managed to negotiate a price and am the very happy owner! Alembic rules!
