Alembic Spoiler= $850 shipped OBO Ok, this bass has been re-finished in Tung-Oil (4 coats of low-gloss and 3 high-gloss coats. It looks fantastic.. The pu's are a little scratched up looking.. (you don't notice it) and there are few hairline looking scratches on it (I'll put it all in the pics). Frets are also a little worn.. could use a dress.. but plays fine and no intonation problems. The overall bass is amazing.. but I need money. This bass plays amazingly easy with a 32" scale length..(you don't really even notice it much.. it just feels natural). The neck feels good and comfy. The balance is great. The simple controls (pu select, volume, filter) are easy to coax a wide range of complicated.. but wonderful Alembic tones out of. I have the action set pretty low.. but it looks like the bridge and pu's could be adjusted to fit any style you'd like. It comes with an Alembic Hardshell case..(the case isn't the prettiest thing.. but it functions perfect and is great inside). If anyone has any questions about this bass e-mail me at bigjimtrucker@hotmail.com or if you're really serious call 618-558-2469 and I'll be happy to answer your questions. Thanks, Ryan pics coming soon (Message edited by bigjimtrucker on April 05, 2003) | ||
