Absolute headturner and sounds/plays like butter, but I cannot afford to keep her. In awesome shape. I have a soft case so you would need to pick it up in Colorado. Always kept in humidity/temp controlled space. jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 3039 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, October 24, 2011 - 4:34 am:    Stunning!

All the best with the sale. stout71 Junior Username: stout71 Post Number: 22 Registered: 7-2011 Posted on Monday, October 24, 2011 - 12:00 pm:    That looks like melted butter - gorgeous. Andy - you might contact Bass Central in Florida. The might be willing to put it on consignment for you. They have good luck selling unusual pieces like this. Of course - you'd have to get it there.... They have more advertising clout than a lot of other bass dealers, and they move a ton of Alembics. eBay is another option, but you'll take a huge hit there. Same thing with Craigslist. wibbersengland Junior Username: wibbersengland Post Number: 24 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Thursday, October 27, 2011 - 12:45 pm:    How much is it Graeme? Is it as easy to play compared to a trad. double bass as an alembic electric is compared to 'cheap' basses?

With a hard case, shipping options may open up. jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 3042 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Friday, October 28, 2011 - 1:27 am:    Mark - it's Alan's classico not mine (although I sincerely wish it WAS mine). The price may be reasonable but like me, you'd need to cross the Atlantic to collect :-( Graeme tubeperson Advanced Member Username: tubeperson Post Number: 230 Registered: 5-2005 Posted on Monday, November 21, 2011 - 8:27 am:    Pleae advise as to the status of this instrument for sale.

Regarding cases, there is a case manufacturer here in Denver who could surely custom build something if you'd like to go that route. andy_kuhn New Username: andy_kuhn Post Number: 4 Registered: 10-2011 Posted on Monday, November 21, 2011 - 10:31 pm:    I know of no hard cases that Alembic sells with these. I have a soft case that comes with it which if suitable for car and light duty plane travel. It feels very similar to, well, more precise than, any acoustic bass I've played. I wish I did not have to transfer caretaking responsibilities. It's nice to get attention as the bass player please feel free to email me if you'd like to discuss more in private...andy_kuhn@yahoo.com
