Jim, There are position markers however this bass was made as a fretless so there are no frets. My camera does not come close to doing this instrument justice. Rory |

I remember the eBay auctions for that pair of basses. They were both very pretty. Sorry to see you selling, Rory. Did you ever get your custom fiver? |

Rory: Good to hear from you! Hope things are going well. Glad to see the Series I isn't for sale. I can attest to the beauty of this Series II as I've seen it in person. Extremely rich cocobolo. Bill, tgo |

Bob and Bill Thanks for checking in it is always good to hear from you both. Everything is good I just find myself not playing these basses so it is time to let them go. As Bill mentioned I still have and love my Series I, so that will be part of my life for the unforseen future. These are two very nice instruments and will surely put a smile to someones face and bring years of Alembic joy and tradition to any collection. I am still waiting on my 6 string Bob, it might be time to go sleep on Val's doorstep! Rory |

Oops - I thought it was a five. I knew there more than four anyway... Someone out there is going to get a couple really nice basses. Good luck with your sales! -Bob |
