Gorgeous bass!!! A couple of small points about your listing. - The text says it has a Flame Maple top but the "Features" list says it's Quilted Maple. - The Features list says it has a Liver logo; but I'm guessing it's probably Silver. <g> More than likely, anyone looking to bid on this bass isn't going to be concerned about either point. |

Also, unless my eyes just aren't focusing right today, that's an upgraded bridge, not the standard bridge; but I can't remember what it's called. edit: Well I was thinking of the "Concealed Hardware" bridge, but this isn't it. (Message edited by davehouck on August 06, 2006) |

So, what model of Alembic is this? Is it a Series II with an Omega cut? Is it something else with Series II electronics? Or is there a body style itself called 'Omega' that I am not familiar with. (Trying to get up to speed!) |

David; the model is either Series I or Series II. (The serial number has no letter after the two digits for the year. Series I and II are the only models with no letter in the serial number.) The three Purpleheart neck lams suggest that it's a Series II. The body is a Standard Omega; which is essentially the same as a Standard Point except it has an Omega instead of a Point. The Standard Omega is listed as the standard body style for Series II. The Standard Point is the standard for Series I. |

Well not quite yet. The buyer bailed out! He says he scrwed up his max bid amount. I have a second chance offer out to the next highest bidder, so it's still available. If that doesn't work, I might relist it this week. |
