Hi Guys, I posted this thread on another section: http://alembic.com/club/messages/393/29050.html?1150478915 Pics there and details RE a mod to provide a master volume rather than the 4 pickup selector. I'm in Northern Florida. I may sell this outright, or possibly trade. I'm interested in a Walter Woods head, or a European stand-up bass. If anyone has a stand-up they'd be interested in trading would need to located within a couple of hours of St. Augustine, Florida (between Jacksonville and Daytona Beach). Email mail with any questions, interest etc. Thanks Rick | ||

Hey Rick, Much as I'd love to take this bass off your hands, there's no way I could offer you a fair price, and you ain't gettin' my Woods! But there is a nice-looking late '70s MI-100-4 on the 'Bay right now priced at $500; I had an identical amp for a while and imagine it would do well for URB. Good luck, KFS | ||

I saw that Walter Woods on sale - I think I want the 1200. I played though two different ones recently - there's a guy locally who has 2! One was an older one they called a sweeper - with parametric EQ - the other was a 1200 - there was a big diffence in the sound and I suspect the same is true of this one. I've very happy with my EA head for both electric and upright - but I want something really portable. Thanks Rick | ||

"Ok jenney, what does your bass look like?" But what i really want to know is how much for that alembic? Or how about an email address so we can figure out a price? | ||

Email address is RSpenceWebTech@yahoo.com For those who've enquired RE price - I'm so undecided. It looks to me - from looking on Ebay and here - and talking to people who know better than me - that somewhere between $2,500 and $3,000 is a fair price for this bass, if I include the new rack mount power supply and new cable. I'm assuming the electronics were not upgraded by the previous owner - but the bass is pretty quiet unless you sit right in front of the speaker. Just the power supply and cable new were over $600, and these were within the last year. So I've actually got more into this bass than it would sell for - maybe I paid too much for it - but it's all relative, isn't it? What's funny is I had a 78 Jazz bass in immac. condition which went on Ebay for about $1,700 - and it played OK but not great. The Alembic is so much better but it's only worth a little more? Doesn't make sense. I just played it again at a gig last week - kind of as a goodbye - but maybe I'll just keep it and send my wife out to get a job. So I'm going to sleep on it for a few days - I'm sure the rest of you who have sold an Alembic know the feeling. | ||

If you sleep on it anymore you could end up in a coma. | ||
