Somebody stop this guy from going to a pawn shop! bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 1058 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Friday, March 03, 2006 - 7:58 pm:    You'll only find out if you call or email. There's not much risk in making that first contact. If I were in the area, I would make the call whether I was in the market for the bass or not. If it's really a Signature Custom in decent shape for under $2K, then it's a very good value to keep or to turn over for a couple hundred dollar profit. If you're worried about it being hot, then take some precautions (though I am not sure exactly what you can do to be protected). lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 1054 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Friday, March 03, 2006 - 8:06 pm:    I'd also get the serial number and check with Alembic to see if it's on the stolen list.

It is s fine looking bass. If I hadn't promised myself that my next Alembic would sport the series 1 electronics, I would snap this one up. I led him to this club telling him he should post an ad here kungfusheriff Senior Member Username: kungfusheriff Post Number: 492 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Sunday, March 05, 2006 - 5:42 pm:    Nice looking bass, isn't it? I've never been one for spalted maple, but this one I like...if I get offered the job I'm angling for I'll probably go for this bass, especially considering what I recently had to pass up. dibolosi Junior Username: dibolosi Post Number: 32 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Monday, March 06, 2006 - 1:26 pm:    He posted pictures of it. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/msg/139113952.html keavin Senior Member Username: keavin Post Number: 748 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Monday, March 06, 2006 - 2:40 pm:    davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 3392 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, March 06, 2006 - 2:40 pm:    Yes, that is indeed a nice looking bass! kungfusheriff Senior Member Username: kungfusheriff Post Number: 494 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Monday, March 06, 2006 - 2:45 pm:    ...and the price has changed again. I'm starting to think this guy's about 15, tops.
