"I know nothing" (Sargent Schultz) more, just happened to see it. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/msg/4925802298.html enzo Senior Member Username: enzo Post Number: 437 Registered: 4-2009 Posted on Thursday, March 12, 2015 - 7:54 pm:    Yeah nice one! There's a thread on Talkbass also, where the owner answer some questions. sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 3959 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Thursday, March 12, 2015 - 8:55 pm:    This Bass looks to be very desirable. From ergonomics to pickup choice, Brass block . This bass looks like it has got it ! Alembic Thunder ! The ability to cut through the mix will be a walk in the park providing your mind and hands will take you there . jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 4431 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, March 13, 2015 - 3:22 am:    I saw that yesterday and wondered about posting it here. It is indeed a superb bass and just my taste however the price is seriously optimistic. I suspect the seller is trying to recoup some of the refurb costs but that price is in the ball park for a very recent and decent series I or II bass. That would be an admirable partner for my S2 bass. If it was in Europe, I'd be contacting the seller for negotiations. dtothec Junior Username: dtothec Post Number: 13 Registered: 3-2015 Posted on Friday, March 13, 2015 - 4:21 am:    He is searching for offers. Too bad it's not a 5 string I'd try to get him to a more realistic price! lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 5985 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Friday, March 13, 2015 - 6:15 am:    My impression is that "someone" (hint -senior management?) is pressuring him to sell when he doesn't want to. Solution? List it for $9K. "Hey honey, I'm trying to sell it. Listed it on cragslist and everything."

I know my lovely wife wouldn't be too happy if I referred to her as a senior.

Seems like the spa treatment it received at the Mothership was a gift from the wife. I just hate to see someone, especially a fellow bass player, in a shape where they have to part with something like that. fc_spoiler Senior Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 1635 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Friday, March 13, 2015 - 9:02 am:    Here's the showcase entry: http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/90721.html dtothec Junior Username: dtothec Post Number: 14 Registered: 3-2015 Posted on Friday, March 13, 2015 - 10:01 am:    Let's just call her what she is CEO! hifiguy Senior Member Username: hifiguy Post Number: 439 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, March 13, 2015 - 11:11 am:    That is one exceptionally sweet bass even by Alembic standards. That top is an eye-popper.
