Wow; it's been through some more changes. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 2759 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Tuesday, December 11, 2007 - 5:18 pm:    The pickups are different, an additional switch is present, the inlays are added (non-Alembic looking), the Dragon inlay on the headstock has been added, along with an Alembic logo, and the brass around the pickups seems to have been changed too. The body shape and wood grain does look the same, though. 'Tis a puzzlement.

Head inlay is here, and neck position marker is here Eiji kungfusheriff Senior Member Username: kungfusheriff Post Number: 644 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Wednesday, December 12, 2007 - 7:04 am:    I spoke to the assistant manager last night -- he's supposed to send me pics of the control cavity contents and other shots today. Also, he said the finish is rough and there are issues with one of the volume controls. As one might expect, the price is negotiable. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5788 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, December 12, 2007 - 7:11 am:    Thanks Eiji!! I knew I had seen that inlay somewhere before! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5789 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, December 12, 2007 - 7:22 am:    Thanks KFS! I was wondering about the electronics changes. Looking forward to the pictures. kungfusheriff Senior Member Username: kungfusheriff Post Number: 645 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Saturday, December 15, 2007 - 12:59 pm:    OK, I've got the pics from the assistant manager of the store, if anyone wants me to forward them. The cavity has been lined with copper foil, and the electronics look like Activator guts. I would not call this a Series bass as it currently exists.
