For sale: Custom Alembic fretless 5. Series I body with omega cut out, 5 piece hippie sandwich with Coco Bolo top and back, mahogany core, and maple layers, 7 piece maple/purple heart neck, cone head stock, brass bridge block, ebony fingerboard with maple lines, red side LED's, the build sheet calls the electronics custom (volume, blend, and a Q filter for each pick up) but I believe it's now the signature series electronics, hard shell case, plastic and brass control cavity covers, original strap buttons as well as the schallers currently installed. serial # is 89C5435.

The bass is in near mint condition. the only flaws are a small amount of string wear on the fingerboard (very,very light for a bass this old) and a small ding on the upper arm bout. Asking $4300 OBO.

I'm helping my friend sell this bass so he can pay taxes. Trades will be considered, as long as cash is partially involved. Feel free to call (513-379-2004) or e-mail (modulus@fuse.net) me for pics, sound clips, and info. Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the welcome! I figured since I've got the Alembic logo tatooed on my leg I should maybe join! :-)

don't feel bad for Hooks not having the cash to buy this, he just got a bad ass series I I wanted! ;) all the pics I have of the bass for sale are too big to post, as for the tatoo, I'll see if I can snap a pic of my nasty leg for you all. My autograph covered Epic 5 is far more interesting though :-)

You sir have an incredible memory. 8^)

Attempted, but aborted. I don't have the right trade bait.

Peace,
