They are all wonderful in their own right and I really want to keep them. However, I think it's a crime to let an Alembic live out it's days as pretty "wall art" and so to that end I am searching for good homes for all my "right brained" children. You can see them all in the Showcase section. They are: '86 Distillate 4 in cocobolo, 32" scale '98 Europa 4 in Superb Walnut 34" scale '90 Elan 6 in cocobolo w/ purpleheart neck lams and chrome hardware. Please Email me at jlpicard@sisna.com for details. southpaw Junior Username: southpaw Post Number: 37 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Thursday, January 12, 2006 - 9:36 am:    Michael, you have mail!!! jlpicard Advanced Member Username: jlpicard Post Number: 317 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 18, 2006 - 8:56 pm:    The Distillate has been sold. Rats! jlpicard Advanced Member Username: jlpicard Post Number: 321 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Saturday, January 21, 2006 - 12:26 am:    Hey gang, any more takers? The Elan 6 and the Europa are still available. I'd much rather see them go to a club member than some stranger on Ebay. 2400wattman Member Username: 2400wattman Post Number: 52 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Sunday, January 22, 2006 - 10:17 pm:    I can't believe you are actually getting rid of those basses. Especially the Elan 6 w/those great neck lams. What a contrast from front to back! Absolutely stunning! Wished I was a lefty to try and obtain one of those beauties. I'm sure the Series II will be worth the loss. Take care Mike. jlpicard Advanced Member Username: jlpicard Post Number: 322 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Monday, January 23, 2006 - 10:13 am:    Trust me. It hasn't been easy to let go! Although selling a lefty is not as easy as it seems sometimes, not to mention a highend custom 6 string so I have a feeiling that this one may stay around for a while.

I list on Ebay tonight. Price negotiable for club members! southpaw Junior Username: southpaw Post Number: 49 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Thursday, February 23, 2006 - 7:00 am:    JL if I had the money to buy your other two, I would have snapped them up in a minute! Also my lack of 6 string talent kept me away from the Elan. Best of luck, I'll be watching the auctions. P.S. The Distillate is fantastic! It is settling into it's new home very well. Thanks again. jlpicard Advanced Member Username: jlpicard Post Number: 382 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 23, 2006 - 2:44 pm:    I'm very happy that you love the Distillate! I 've always felt that it has something special.
