Just received...4 String Spoiler 84S3310!

Seems to be a custom order (name inscribed on Truss rod cover) for single owner, sold to music store.
Kept it in great shape, plays and sounds great right out of the box. 
A completely different experience from last acquisition.
Needs a little cleaning, but love it already. 
86S4221 also pictured, coming along...

I'm thinking either Zebrawood or Macassar Ebony?

Great looking zebrawood! Beautiful bass as well.

Hi Ed,

Here's what was in the instrument file for your bass:

top: Zebrawood
body: Mahogany
neck: Maple
scale: 32" medium
fingerboard: Ebony
inlays: Pearloid (plastic) ovals)
tuning keys: Schaller
pickups: AXY4
controls: volume, pickup selector switch, filter, Q-switch, mono output
originally made for: not recorded
birthday: September 21, 1984

There's nothing recorded as being custom ordered. Many people do decorate the truss rod cover later with engraving at a trophy store since the plate is solid brass. Really nice looking piece of Zebrawood there!

Many thanks Mica!

I am constantly impressed with the build of Alembic basses, the robustness of all the brass hardware, and how reachable you are as a company.  I'm sure we are an impatient group looking for help( I speak for myself) but all the help and info is really appreciated!
I have a few more Serial numbers coming your way shortly!
