Congratulations and welcome!
Yes, pictures please.  
Mica should be able to track down whateveer is available in their paper files. Give it a little time. She'll modify the title of this thread with an X when she finds your bass' build sheet.

I love these early Alembics. This on looks to be in real good shape too.
Cograts Chris.
On a side note the first Alembic I'd ever seen was in 1977, a cat named Chris owned it.

That is a real nice one!  That is the type of bass for me!  It looks to be in terrific shape too.  Did you get it with a silver or blue power supply?

i agree, and on the right side of the neck around 5th fret there is a unique
wood pattern.

Congrats Chris !
 
I found it on Guitar Center's Vintage Collection at July 2005.
I got my 76' MSB 5strings at that time.
 
Please call me, if you want to deal it in the future.

Hi Chris,
 
I found the details about your bass. There is only the 3x5 index card with some scant record of the construction, and we haven't seen it here since. Anyway, here's what I know:
 
top and back: California Walnut
core: Birch
neck: Walnut and Maple, 30.75 short scale
fingerboard: Ebony with Abalone inlays
peghead veneers: Walnut
originally made for: LD Heater, OR
birthday: not recorded
 
There is one previous registered owner in CA from 1991.  
 
There's no other information to share. But I've added the photos from this page to the file.
