I would like to say hi and talk about any and all info pertaining to my Series I converted to a Series ii bass.  It is a 1975, # 238.  It is a very early model.  It is zebrawood front and back and headstock.  CURRENT master vol post is dated 1978.  Thinking that would be when it was upgraded.  I love the bass.  It is an amazing instrument.   Mine weighs 10.80 #'s, large scale, 34 inch.   A true beauty.  I have reached out to the nice and busy people at the shop but they are busy people.  I know.  I'm just looking for some history,  build sheets, former owners, ect...  thanks in advance and have a great day!

Welcome to the camp Blair.

Good times for you.  Do as Dave suggested to posting the serial number.  A lot of passion here for these fine instruments.

Welcome to the club/forum/family Blair!  When you get a chance, please post some pics of your Alembic.  We LOVE Alembic porn around here!

Bill, the guitar one.

Welcome, Blair, beautiful bass :)

For photos, I think it might be the one currently for sale on reverb

I don't know if Blair is still hanging around or moved on, but an interesting numerical coincidence, we had just discussed 75-237, the immediate bass before their 75-238 here:

Another long-scale Standard Point with a zebrawood top. 75-240 is another. I've never seen 75-239, but one wonders if it's another. Could be totally different. Could be a guitar.
