I'm interested in getting a used Series I or II bass 4-string. Is anyone looking to get rid of one around here? I'd prefer not to use Ebay is possible, due to the rampant scams. I'd also be interested in a good deal (i.e., I'm not going to pay for a used bass the same price as I could get a new alembic). 2400wattman Senior Member Username: 2400wattman Post Number: 449 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Wednesday, August 29, 2007 - 3:54 pm:    The Low End has my old 1980 S1. www.thelowend.net It's a great bass and sounds phenominal. Might be in your price range, so go and check it out. dtrice Member Username: dtrice Post Number: 80 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, August 31, 2007 - 1:58 pm:    Thanks, Adam. I'm all over it! Let's see if it works out. artswork99 Member Username: artswork99 Post Number: 80 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Friday, August 31, 2007 - 2:57 pm:    http://alembic.com/club/messages/395/42207.html?1188504421 I even talked to Brian at The Low End this morning and he verified that it had been sold.

I would have, too. dtrice Member Username: dtrice Post Number: 98 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Tuesday, September 04, 2007 - 12:28 pm:    By the way, I should mention that due to financial restrictions I'm looking for around the $3,000-$4,000 range, if possible. I don't really have the ability to purchase a $7,000-$8,000 instrument right now. But if you're are still interested in parting with a Series let me know. Thanks.

Olie gtrguy Intermediate Member Username: gtrguy Post Number: 113 Registered: 9-2004 Posted on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 10:02 am:    Now is the time to buy one, the market is low. Get the cord and the power supply too, if possible. Good luck! cozmik_cowboy Intermediate Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 191 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 2:24 pm:    Speaking only for myself, Olie, i wouldn't even consider a gig bag for that one! Peter - who's nervous about using a gigbag on his 30-year-old $150 Alvarez laminated flat-top. dtrice Intermediate Member Username: dtrice Post Number: 104 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Thursday, September 06, 2007 - 10:33 am:    I don't need a gig bag, I'll just settle for a rehearsal bag... longhorncat Advanced Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 209 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Friday, September 07, 2007 - 2:36 pm:    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160155470011 That altered long scale Series has a BIN of $2250 now. dela217 Senior Member Username: dela217 Post Number: 831 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, September 07, 2007 - 3:07 pm:    That zebrawood bass didn't even get any bids the last time it was up. I don't get it. Am I the only one that likes zebrawood? If it was a medium scale, I would consider it. If it were a small standard, it would be mine. oggydoggy Intermediate Member Username: oggydoggy Post Number: 151 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Friday, September 07, 2007 - 6:59 pm:    looks like a great bass, Zebrawood is great, In my opinon that is. dtrice Intermediate Member Username: dtrice Post Number: 112 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, September 07, 2007 - 7:43 pm:    It looks great. I'm going to check it out. It is in Boston, so I'm going to try to have a friend up there go check it out in person. It's a great price, too. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5498 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Saturday, September 08, 2007 - 7:32 am:    Daniel, let us know what you find out. dtrice Intermediate Member Username: dtrice Post Number: 113 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Saturday, September 08, 2007 - 12:59 pm:    It says that it is sold.

Olie dtrice Intermediate Member Username: dtrice Post Number: 115 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Sunday, September 09, 2007 - 7:50 am:    I'm not entirely dissappointed that I didn't get it. I still have one option: a 1980 S1. majazztix New Username: majazztix Post Number: 2 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Friday, November 16, 2007 - 3:46 am:    are you still interested in a series I? have a look at the picture 77-825 in the serial number request aerea
