Mark, I purchased this bass as a collector piece only. It has been stored in it's case from day one. I'd bet I've had it out about 5 times just to show it. Why am I selling? If it sells, I may very well regret it (won't be the first time), however, I own about 20 high-end basses, so, at this time I have decided to part with a few. This bass is drop-dead gorgeous. Nominated as the May 2003 Custom it will always be a part of Alembic's Custom Archive history. Tim B. | ||

Joe, Yes, it is awesome and a 1-of-a-kind bass. It has'nt sold yet though! This bass will remain in it's case as new until that day. So, don't ever say never about anything! Tim | ||

Hello- I am interested in this bass... two questions: is it a 35" or 34" scale? Also, how does it balance it your lap and strapped on - any neck dive? I would be stringing it up for a higher E to C tuning. Finally, what is your asking price? Thanks, Andy afort@pacifier.com | ||

Hi Bob, This is the only site I have listed this bass. I was hoping a club member would get it. As you can clearly see, I have tried to keep the offer visible through-out the last several months. While I have had many inquiries, I have yet to locate anyone that was serious and/or able to follow-through with a deal. EBay?.....I doubt it. If I get no takers here I will keep it. See it at Alembic: http://www.alembic.com/info/fc_seismic.html Thanks, Tim B. tbishop@1scom.net | ||

I would love to have this bass, but still, I don't have any money. Things will change in a year, think it will still be for sale then? | ||

Junior Username: kata3901 Post Number: 46 Registered: 5-2004 |
Applejuice, While I can't predict the future, I do agree with 2400wattman.....start saving just in case! (I would suggest this though; bump the price up on the lemonade and mix generously with some Patron Silver.)  Tim B. | ||

Advanced Member Username: 2400wattman Post Number: 233 Registered: 11-2005 |
I don't think he's quite old enough for that yet. Although Patron is an excellent choice I have recently tried Cuervo Black and I recommend that as well, very smooth straight up. Well Apple, better find a fall-winter job. It looks like this guy would rather sell to a member than put it on ebay(who could blame him) so he might still have it by the time you get the bread together. | ||

Adam, I'll put Cuervo Black on my list of premiums to try. Thanks for the recommendation! Tim B. | ||
