Hey Folks, Due to severe financial burdens I am forced to sell an amazing piece of toneful art. If interested please call me at: (773) 865-7899 or email at: esittner@hotmail.com I am in Los Angeles and would love to have someone that is seriously interested come by and play her for themselves. I am so torn and angry at the fact that I must sell. I want to see her go to someone that will love her and play her. That's what she is here for, and she has a lot to give...  Specs: 7-piece body *Ziricote top/Maple/Purpleheart/Mahoghany/Purpleheart/Maple/Flamed Walnut back 7-piece neck *Flamed Maple/Purpleheart/Maple/Purpleheart/Maple/Purpleheart/Flamed Maple Crown Headstock w/ Ziricote top and Flamed Walnut back Gold-plated hardware Abalone Inlays Series II Electronics (obviously) w/ 2 tone filters, 2 separate volumes, 2 continuously variable Q knobs, 4-way pickup selector, and master volume knob Has both 5-pin (power supply included w/ cable) and the 1/4" input jacks Red side-mounted LED's 34" Scale length Serial Number: 97 10646 USA As you well know, according to the custom quote page, a beast like this today with these specs would yield a price tag of $18,500.00 direct from Alembic. It also appears that Ziricote is no longer an option (?) I'm hoping for a humble and fair-priced, $6,999.99... Let's talk, Eric Sittner (Message edited by Eric the Red on May 16, 2006) (Message edited by Eric the Red on May 16, 2006) (Message edited by Eric the Red on May 17, 2006) (Message edited by Eric the Red on May 17, 2006) | ||

I've gotten several calls already and multiple emails. I can't believe I'm really going to sell! I'm sure I will kick myself in the pants later... I've revised the original post. Once again, would like to see this go to a player and someone who would respect her and admire her for all her beauty and glory. Truly, a fine piece of art with an incredibly succulent tone. I'm already jealous of the potential buyer! | ||

dwmark, I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are asking. How am I selling? Why am I posting here? I figured I'd give die-hard Alembic fans the first viewing and opportunity to purchase, rather than dumping immediately up on ebay or instrument exchange, etc. I see people talking here a lot about how they wish they could get their hands on a Series II 5-string. Also, this is NOT the bass from the link above. As you can see, that bass had a heart-omega cut-out, wider string spacing, Ziricote top AND back, and what appears to be black (tahitian?) oval inlays. | ||

Eric Just joking. I got the sense you had a lot of interest here and a lot of people waiting to hear what it was going to take to do a deal. I'll lay off the humor and let you get to business. dw |
