I'd leave it as found. Price is good too. pasewark Intermediate Member Username: pasewark Post Number: 176 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Monday, October 29, 2012 - 4:23 pm:    I love the older Alembics. This one has been on ebay before. If I had the money and it was 32"and was legit, I'd buy it and do the electronic upgrades. sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 2677 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Monday, October 29, 2012 - 5:35 pm:    I have been watching this one for a few months on eBay .He has come down in price a few times . I almost hit BUY IT NOW many times because I have been looking for a fretless ALEMBIC Series with lines. I have a great fretted medium scale Series and medium scale works well for me with frets , HOWEVER I don't know if 32"scale would work fretless for me. When I play fretless I generally play long scale. SO , I just keep watching this bass, making up my mind .If it were closer to me I would call the seller and ask to check it out .

It shows extra $$ for cocobolo wood. Would that be the top and back laminate, or the core? The laminates look like walnut to me, and the core is a shade darker than the standard mahogany. That is a nice bass. pasewark Intermediate Member Username: pasewark Post Number: 177 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Monday, October 29, 2012 - 5:48 pm:    Hey Sonicus, Is that a 32" or 34" scale? Don sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 2679 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Monday, October 29, 2012 - 6:20 pm:    Hi , Don . 32" scale I believe. tmoney61092 Senior Member Username: tmoney61092 Post Number: 827 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Monday, October 29, 2012 - 6:41 pm:    it says 32" in the description, if I had the money I would definitely buy it to use as a fretless. my only concern is that it looks like the strings would hit that neck pickup while playing! ~Taylor davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 10930 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, October 30, 2012 - 3:22 pm:    Daniel; it would be for the top and back laminates. Interestingly, that quote is 23 years old. that_sustain Member Username: that_sustain Post Number: 70 Registered: 8-2012 Posted on Tuesday, October 30, 2012 - 8:53 pm:    Thank you Dave. I have the same wood on my bass, munus the back laminate. sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 2684 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Wednesday, October 31, 2012 - 4:13 pm:    Someone has grabbed it !

I love the medium scale fretted Alembics , but I was not sure about fretless medium scale______
