my first time trying this so bare with me. I just read it and thought one of us might want it. Alembic Elan; five string bass. Custom/rare - $1600 (Marshall, MO) [moderator edit - there you go!] (Message edited by adriaan on January 20, 2012) |

Hot damn. Funny Craigslist ad and a STEAL of a price if it's in good working condition like the ad states. |

Awesome buy. If it were 32", I'd be in. |

Wow Marshall, Mo. That brings back memories. Went through the 7th and 8th grade there and would work at the Mattingly's my uncle managed around X-mas to make money for presents. My Vox MkIV and Hagstrom 8 were both bought at a music store called the Vox Box just off the town square. Keith |

Hey Guys, I'm thinking about picking this one up for the bass player in my band. If he doesn't bite, we'll see what happens. I might keep it for myself. I live about an hour away, and these opportunities don't come up often. Kevin |

Hey Ken, I've been in contact with the seller, and I'm currently making arrangements to view the bass. I've seen a couple more photos that look pretty nice, and my band's bass player is more than a little excited. I'll let everyone know how things turn out. |

It's the following piece of text that I love most about this ad, "It is probably better treated than I am in my own house." |
