My 1st Alembic was this early 80's Series I that I bought used in 1986 from Music Emporium mail order, sight unseen for $1500.

Hey rusty I didn't realise you previously had a series bass.  How long did you have it?

I had it for about 3 years. I was young & dumb & didn't realize what I had & sold it. I wish I still had it! Here's a better picture -  
 

 
I bought this one on 31 Oct 1997 when I was 17 years old. I worked for about a year and a half to save up the 2,000$ for the bass. I still love it.

I really like the sticker on the Strat!! LOL

I would have put one on my Alembic, but my guitar player only had one ^^

aeijae...Is that a bubinga top, looks the same as my MK Signature?
 

That is indeed Bubinga as the finishing touch of coalecsed woods carefully carved to produce a superior instrument. I always liked the look of Bubinga, it surely inclines one to make a double take.
