Has been a while since we have had another Alembic on the UK bay! Starting at £599 it looks an attractive buy at the moment!

It may be there'll be a scottish resident one appearing if the price is right.

I would have preferred honesty instead of ignorance.

I wonder why its up for auction again so quickly with a different seller?

I would have bought it if I hadnt been messed about with it before (is it possible its the same seller as before using a friends account?) A four stringer is what I really want anyway John. jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 1652 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, February 18, 2008 - 7:57 am:    Went for £695 in the end. I wouldn't let mine go that cheap!

Too bad! georgie_boy Senior Member Username: georgie_boy Post Number: 414 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Monday, February 18, 2008 - 11:29 am:    £800 Graeme!! G
