Up for sale is a 1990 Alembic Distillate bass. The bass is in immaculate condition. The only marks that I can find on the bass are in the third picture (scratches on the brass plate) and in the ninth picture (you can see something in the brown area on the edge - not sure what it is). The outside of the case has seen better days, but it's not too terrible for a 25 year old bass, and it is the original case. It is an absolutely beautiful bass. The brass hardware could use some cleaning, but I think it adds character to the bass. I have all of the original paperwork from Alembic. My price is $3500 shipped anywhere in the continental US.
