This is the first ever classico I've seen on ebay! Oh so sweet! What a rare find too! Saddle up Duke and ride into the sunset before ya go and yer'self in trouble. As was quoted in a different thread---- "get thee back satan" And Doc.. good lookin' ain't bad! Po and ugly is bad, rich and ugly is really BAD. NLP | ||

I want that and I can't even play double bass... Well I've never tried. Would it be a good instrument to learn on? :-) | ||

If you have $8,900 for a whim, I'd say absolutely yes. | ||

This is the second classico that I have seen on ebay. The first one was form a fella in Switzerland, and he had a BIN of something in the area of 5800 euros. This one is a beauty! | ||

I have to admit I am/was interested in this bass but am going to (need to) pass. I don't play upright enough anymore to justify spending that much on one. It really is a nice instrument though. | ||

Geeze Mike, when I heard the two little voices on my shoulders whispering to me..." buy it,... no save the money,...buy it...no save the money etc." I never would have thought you'd be the one with the red cape and horns.  LOL | ||

OMG... I am in lust! I was pondering tracking down a Classico a while ago and then my job ended. What can i do to bring this one in to the family? ... dream-on is probably the most realistic answer. -- Eugene | ||

I found the thread from back in June 2006 when I was thinking about locating a Classico. The thread is: http://alembic.com/club/messages/393/29143.html At that time Mica recalled that "We've made about 20 Classicos" which is 1/5th the 100 which the eBay listing mentions. This thread of course did not stay on topic and I got a bunch of ribbing because of my lack of familiarity with Stanley (the one from Philly); so there are some good chuckles in this thread. In preparation for the eventuality that I go completely crazy and bid on this bass.  I must point out to all of you that are obsessed with like-new condition Alembics that this bass appears to have 2 or 3 scratches on its back below the neck joint. Therfore this bass is completely ruined and has been renedered entirely unsuitable for you to to even considder placing a bid.  -E | ||

Go for it Eugene. I had contemplated bidding on it but have decided not to. I have too much going on at this time. I wonder if they've ever made a Classico with side LED's.HMMMMM | ||

Congrats on the Classico Jeff. After you get it and play it for a while give us the scoop. I was looking hard at it but am glad you go it. Enjoy it. Olie | ||

here is what i can tell you i posted this in the showcase the bass was tweaked by ron after the seller bought it. according to seller's comments in email and confirmed by mica when i spoke to her today, it may be the best sounding classico they ever made (so far- esp with that coco in prod) and it's response has been the "guide/model" for every classico made after it. got one more alembic coming then i AM done | ||
