I do not require a deluxe level instrument, standard is fine. My arthritis is getting worse, and I would like to get one extraordinary bass while I can still play. Playability trumps all, including sound and look. peace, jim brianclarkebert Junior Username: brianclarkebert Post Number: 19 Registered: 7-2012 Posted on Sunday, October 14, 2012 - 9:29 pm:    I don't have a bass to offer but some advice, I would seriously look into Hot/Cold treatment, I had serious problems with my hands years ago, and have healed without operations, I'm a sheet-metal worker by trade, so you can imagine that coupled with practicing hours a day the kind of damage to my hands. best of luck=) B. jim777 Junior Username: jim777 Post Number: 20 Registered: 10-2012 Posted on Monday, October 15, 2012 - 6:07 am:    I will ask my doctor about it, thanks jim777 Junior Username: jim777 Post Number: 22 Registered: 10-2012 Posted on Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - 6:26 pm:    Going to need to put this on hold for a bit, played a ZON Sonus 5 the other day and had to have it bigjim New Username: bigjim Post Number: 2 Registered: 1-2013 Posted on Thursday, January 03, 2013 - 3:47 am:    Hi Jim, I have a balance shape 5 string fretless if that interests you here: http://alembic.com/club/messages/395/146772.html?1357212338 Jim flaxattack Senior Member Username: flaxattack Post Number: 2465 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Sunday, January 13, 2013 - 9:40 am:    let me know if you are interested http://www.alembic.com/info/fc_direwolf.html jim777 New Username: jim777 Post Number: 1 Registered: 9-2013 Posted on Saturday, September 07, 2013 - 11:40 pm:    Bumping once more, as I have about 5K to spend. Let's move sound up a notch though to equal playability ;) I want to grab something soon, and would prefer an Alembic over a Fodera E5S if I can get one. jim777 New Username: jim777 Post Number: 8 Registered: 9-2013 Posted on Friday, October 04, 2013 - 8:24 am:    Any 5 strings with sig electronics out there? jakebass Intermediate Member Username: jakebass Post Number: 129 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Monday, October 07, 2013 - 4:00 pm:    Hi Jim I've emailed you, considering selling my MK5 balanceK Jake jakebass Intermediate Member Username: jakebass Post Number: 130 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Monday, October 07, 2013 - 4:00 pm:    Hi Jim I've emailed you, considering selling my MK5 balanceK Jake jim777 New Username: jim777 Post Number: 9 Registered: 9-2013 Posted on Tuesday, October 08, 2013 - 8:22 am:    Thanks, I received a few emails in the last day or two (been busy with hockey, sorry!) and will reply to all shortly.
