I'm an Alembic Special Edition owner wishing to know more about my bass. Any chance I can get some help? The serial number is: 97W10927 (or at least that's what's printed on a plate on the body). Thanks, and much obliged for the help! Any information as to woods, special features, etc. would be greatly appreciated. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7042 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Monday, November 15, 2010 - 6:02 pm:    Hi Graham, Here's what I found in the instrument file: WLB5SE Epic 5-string Special Edition top: Quilted Maple accent: Maple body: Mahogany body shape: Epic neck: 5-piece Maple with 4 Walnut pinstripes scale: 34" long peghead shape: Cone pickups: MXY56 controls: "Epic" volume, pan, bass, treble, mono output originally made for: Guitar Center birthday: August 1, 1997 This was part of a special edition for Guitar Center's anniversary. The truss rod cover is engraved with the serial number and the position in the limited edition run. At the time this bass was made, Epics were not generally available in Quilted Maple, and the plates were usually plastic, but on this model they were all brass.
