Now that is a seriously great looking bass and I bet it plays beautifully.

Hmm let me just check €8900 in pounds today.... !!!

pour ce genre de basse, il n'y a pas vraiment de cote... c'est un instrument exceptionnel au regard des incrustations du manche déjà... après il y a ce que tu as envie ou tu peux mettre... au regard de ce qui existe sur le marché. Par rapport à ma serie II de 1982 achetée à kungfusheriff et révisée entièrement par alembic, celle ci est un poil chère.
C'est curieux, les micros sont récents mais pas les capuchons... il faut en savoir plus, notamment la date de production.

Cette basse a le numéro de série 91C5649 et aurait été fabriquée pour un magasin de Nice

No I don't think it's too expensive, It is expensive thats all, but then we seem to pay a premium in Europe for used alembics due in part, I think, to the rarity value.

The Alembic Tree Of Life inlay on that bass alone is $6000 in the quote generator so thats about ¢4000, all the hardware looks gold plated too so thats worth a bit.

Are you considering buying then Jacques?

I would be interested if I could contact the seller. I would most likely have to sell one of my Graphite series II's.

If I had the cash now, I will try to hjave for about 7000 USD, but It's necessary to see and play it before. From 1991 ? Ok the electronic is certainly safe. It's the second short scale I see to sale in Europe from 4 years...

With that wood and inlay work? I could see someone paying maybe $7-10K for it in the US. Without the neck inlays, somewhere around $5-6K with the power supply. With any rare instrument, the variation can be quite great. For the right buyer, the asking price is probably fair.

I don't know much but it sure seems to me that Bsee has the angle here. If I had the dough I'd go for it.

I agree _ what's there here not to love! Donald is right , If one were to have the cash to pick it up in person , we know about those shippers ; UPS, etc ... ... .

A great work of art - gorgeous - sure it sounds great too -hoping a buyer and seller come to terms that please them both and support the values of all of our instruments. I'm with Jazzyvee, Bsee and Skyboltone on this. Great looking bass - among the most beautiful instruments I've ever seen.

Ok! Good luck Jacques!

Now, what is the top and back wood? Some sort of burl? I've seen some very highly figured Myrtle recently with that kind of look, but I really don't know.

It would be good to be able to buy a fretboard like that to replace an existing one. That is stunning. :-)

Pretty sure that top and back is Burl Maple. Stunning bass and Tree of Life inlay (silver needs a little polishing).

Toby

I'm not now the new owner. I see it on Thursday and hopefully be the new owner. But I am inquiring on how to do.
