All are mint, or close to mint, and one is brand spankin' new old stock. They are as follows: 1. Mint Essence 4 string in a deep blue over incredible tiger maple, in original case. $1500.00 [SOLD] 2. NOS Rogue 5 string in zebrawood in original case with all paperwork. Never played. $3800.00 [SOLD] 3. Distillate body 4 string in birdseye maple with original Spoiler circuit and hardshell case. Close to mint. $1500.00 [SOLD] 4. Spoiler 4 string in birdseye maple in excellent condition with a replacement case. $1500.00 [RETRACTED] All play beautifully and sound fantastic. They are priced more than fairly for their condition and playability. Much better than anything on Ebay. You are buying from my personal collection, so they are all top notch. Email me at oib805@gmail.com for full photographs and specifications.

If anyone can't live without it, feel free to email me, but my thanks to all of you who are giving good homes to my beautiful basses.

It had been sold to someone else within about a half hour while I was looking at the pics over lunch. Yes ___ WOW ! <lol sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 3851 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Friday, January 02, 2015 - 2:25 am:    Trevor , No sour grapes ___, Just confirming the apparent high level brevity of the transactions. ___Congratulations to all . hammer Senior Member Username: hammer Post Number: 652 Registered: 9-2009 Posted on Friday, January 02, 2015 - 6:43 am:    Just goes to show that if you price Alembics well, they literally fly out the door. Man that's got to be a record for selling three basses. sonofa_lembic Junior Username: sonofa_lembic Post Number: 30 Registered: 5-2014 Posted on Monday, January 05, 2015 - 7:47 am:    Yes, I knew I priced them on the low end for quick sale, but even I was surprised. They are going to all ends of the Earth. One local, one to the East Coast, and one to Europe. They are all superb instruments, so I guess it is no wonder. I apologize to the folks who missed out on the deals. As to the replacement $15K bass, it is an instrument that will fill the needs of my "geriatric" body. Fifty-one and I am falling apart! Since I can't see for crap any more, having LEDs in the bass will be wonderful. Also the Balance K should do wonders for my aching back. Even with all the fancy stuff, I am still going to have one of the more basic circuits. Later this year, I may be ordering an Alembic that will be a cumulative attempt at a dream bass. Spoiler body, Anniversary electronics, maple, ebony and bubinga neck laminates, Santo Domingan mahogany body core, zebra wood accent stripes, and a book matched Gaboon ebony top and back. Truly a sit down only instrument, but it should record like nothing else. charles_holmes Advanced Member Username: charles_holmes Post Number: 382 Registered: 3-2009 Posted on Tuesday, January 06, 2015 - 4:12 pm:    Yo Trevor, Good luck in your Quest for your "Holy Grail Alembic" I think I speak for all when I say..I can't wait to see the photos!
