It is burgundy mist, rosewood, flame maple neck and white pick guard with matching pickup cover, a gorgeous combination. Ernie Ball calls the color Raspberry Sorbet. Ernie Ball only made 25 of these- rare. There is a small 1mm nick between frets 9 & 10 on the side of the fingerboard. It is so hard to see I couldn't photograph it. I have no idea how it wound up there. It is strung with Cobalts and delivers 100% USDA beefy, growly classic Stingray tone. It can be as subtle as you want or bark like a wolf- sweet bass. I love it and I am only offering it up for sale because the string spacing is too narrow for me. I have huge hands and I need 18mm+ spacing. I would gladly consider Alembic 5 or 6 string trades such as an Orion. I am also looking for a Yamaha TRB6 JP2 in natural or amber. Otherwise, it is priced to sell for $1600. Comes with gigbag, hang tags and pro set up by me (former Sadowsky tech/luthier). Contact via email at cocobass@gmail.com I will now attempt to load pics!

I cannot continue to play and not have that "voice". Alembic Club member special: Priced to sell at $1500, buyer pays shipping. Thanks for looking! hankster Advanced Member Username: hankster Post Number: 347 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Tuesday, December 10, 2013 - 12:57 pm:    That's a great deal. Someone surely needs this bass! 5a_quilt_top Advanced Member Username: 5a_quilt_top Post Number: 211 Registered: 6-2012 Posted on Tuesday, December 10, 2013 - 2:59 pm:    I have a white one with maple fingerboard and bird's eye maple neck. I can confirm that it's a formidable bass!
