I JUST recently traded for this guy, but unfortunately the ergonomics are not suited for me. Explanation: the neck is simply too wide (1-7/8" at the nut and 2-3/4" at the 12th fret) and ironically the balance is a problem (my right hand naturally falls WAAAY too close to the bridge... thus the "tension" is chewing-up my fingers). $4,000 plus shipping. Contact me on my Email: mike1762@gmail.com

Mike: What's the scale of your bass? |

34": I have it set-up for DR HiBeams 120/100/80/60/40. The "B" is nice and "firm". It really pains me to sell it, but it's just not a "fit" for me. I was afraid there might be a problem when I made the trade, but I convinced myself that I would acclimate to it. It's been a few weeks now and I just don't see that happening. I've actually been migrating back towards MusicMan StingRays. I grew-up playing Rays and they just feel more comfortable to me. I'm actually trying (or at least willing) to sell all but 1 of my Alembics (I'm definetely keeping my SC... neck-dive and all!!!). |

That quilted maple top is incredibly detailed the close up actually looks like the quilting would be textured to the touch. All the best with the sale. Jazzyvee |

Mike, Would you be interested in a trade plus cash arrangement involving late '70s vintage StingRay and/or Sabre? If so send me an email at martinjlm@icloud.com |

Thanks for the offer James, but I already have 5 Stingrays. My kids aren't going to know what to do with all these guitar/basses when I meet my untimely end, so I really need to thin the herd a bit :-) |

This guy is headed back to his previous owner and my 4 string is coming back home to me. UPS and FedEx enjoyed this little experiment!!! |
