It has a oil/wax finish. Top and back are bleeding heart, as are the neck lams, and the body is mahogany. Scale length is 34". One ding on side near controls, but not very noticeable. Sound is awesome and there is no static. Power supply and cable included. Pics available upon request. Please let me know if you have any interest. hasadari (Bob Brown) keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 510 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Tuesday, July 18, 2006 - 1:44 pm:    Bob, I assume it is the large standard body being a long scale? If it is a small body I might be interested.

Thanks. Keith drjenney Member Username: drjenney Post Number: 72 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Tuesday, July 18, 2006 - 3:40 pm:    Bob, I'd love to see some pics. I love oil and wax finishes--and I don't think I've ever seen a bleeding heart top. Any idea what you would like to get for the bass? bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 1242 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Tuesday, July 18, 2006 - 6:51 pm:    I think you're unlikely to ever see a bleeding heart top. Bleeding hearts are a couple dozen different species of flower and I don't believe any of them produce wood. In short, I suspect that Bob meant purpleheart, particularly since he said the same wood was used for the neck lams. -bob hasadari Intermediate Member Username: hasadari Post Number: 160 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 - 7:28 am:    You could be right and I could be mistaken. My recollection from the original serial # check was bleeding heart. Sorry for any confusion.

My decision to sell has been VERY difficult, but I am buying a used Alembic 5-string and have principally played 5-string for the last nine months. mip Junior Username: mip Post Number: 14 Registered: 7-2006 Posted on Monday, July 24, 2006 - 11:54 pm:    I'm curious. What is the used 5-string that you are buying? hasadari Intermediate Member Username: hasadari Post Number: 166 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Friday, July 28, 2006 - 9:29 pm:    See the attached link. http://alembic.com/club/messages/395/29883.html?1153990221 Regards.

Regards. Bob tbrannon Intermediate Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 121 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Tuesday, August 15, 2006 - 3:52 pm:    Bob, I'm in the same situation. I *almost* bought a used Series I about 5 months ago from a club member, but had a family emergency arise which diverted the funds I had set aside. Now I find myself playing stuff where I really need the 5. I'm waiting, I've got a deal worked out with another club member for one of his 5's when the time is right. If you had posted this a few months back, I would have jumped all over it. Good luck~ hasadari Intermediate Member Username: hasadari Post Number: 170 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Tuesday, August 15, 2006 - 5:53 pm:    Thanks, I appreciate it. Regards.
