Well, I never thought I'd do this, but I've held on to this amazing instrument for far too long. It is beautiful, both sonically and aesthetically, but I just don't play it enough. Over time my playing preferences have morphed more towards 4 and 5 strings, so I'd like to find an Alembic 5-string that fits in with my repertoire and other basses. It's time to let this one go to an enthusiastic 6-string player.
Specs:
top: Quilted Maple (noted as "Very Quilted Maple Primo Choice")
accent: Walnut pinstripe
body: Maple
through-body neck: 5-piece Maple with 4 Walnut pinstripes, 34" long scale
pickups: Alembic MXY
controls: volume, pan, filter, Q switch, mono output
birthday: July 28, 1993
originally made for: Guitar Resurrection, Austin, TX
weight: 11 lbs, 15 oz.
The bass is immaculate, in very near mint condition. I looked it over very carefully for anything noticeable:
I noticed 2 small dings on the back, one on the lower horn of the upper bout, and one on the extended horn of the upper bout. All are tiny - nearly invisible.
2925.00, shipped CONUS, with pictured hard-shell case included
I would also definitely consider a trade (+/- cash as needed) for a neck-through, 5-string Alembic. Any model, electronics, condition potentially considered. It would need to be 34" scale and under 10 lbs.
I am hypothetically happy to entertain other trade offers, but I'm pretty targeted to Alembic. I know for sure I won't consider anything over 10 lbs, or anything other than 34" scale.
