Ok- this is a tough one for me- I LIKE this bass alot- but can't get used to 32 scale- and filter base preamps are not for me just can't hang...but there is something about it..its fun to play-kind of can't put it donw so I may come to my senses!
Bass has some shall we say issues... first orginal preamp has been replaced by ACG preamp- not quite sure what does what- I didn't do it- but it seems to be stacked bass treble filers (go mwah from lows to hits) volume and a passive tone control- I think- its wired 18 volts- kind of reminds me of my Wal in terms of sound- as a result of this change- there are two empty spaces for switches- (I assume orgginally the Q switches?) orginal Alembic pickups.
I think- at one point the bass had a repair on the neck- there is just one line on the back of the headstock- it might not be- or it may be- if it is its REALLY well done- and there is no evidence on the front side neck is staright plays good, low action good frets, trusses work..all good
Bass was missing control cavity cover- I cut a new one out of pickguard material- its not perfect but covers the guts well enough- the gap seen in the picture is a result of that not any issue with the bass itself.
So...based on that...hard to dertermine a value- bottom line a good playing black Alembic- that isn't quite kosher...
I'm asking a very negotiable $1000+ shipping... Trade wise..70's beater P bass or jazz- refins routes etc ok... a stingray is a possiblity, ...I don't really have cash to have to a deal - I do have a Hamer USA PJ cruise I could add as a 2 for 1 deal if it was something I wanted...feel free to run any offers by me... |
