here: http://raleigh.en.craigslist.org/msg/687878639.html the post is a bit old, but as lefties aren't so common, I figured this might be a treat for someone. | ||

The last I heard, last week, there was a deal pending on this bass. It seems probable to me that the sale has gone through and that the bass is in route. The bass is in very good condition; and the seller is a really nice guy. | ||

Hi Guys.  Robinc - My heart missed a beat when I saw your message, as I feared something had gone awry with my deal. As luck would have it though, I received confirmation from the seller this morning that all is well and my new baby will be shipping out tomorrow. And you're absolutley right when saying it has a good home. David - Thank you (and Art) again for your support and checking the bass out prior to me making the deal. After you guys met the seller and gave me the high sign, I had no reservations at all with sending a check to someone I'd never met living literally across the country. This was especially helpful as I had issues with Paypal and ended up sending a cashiers check in the mail. :0 Gotta love the Alembic Club! Had you guys not helped, I can honestly say it would have been very difficult, if not even impossible to have followed through due to Paypal issues, distance and sight unseen etc. Heart felt thank you. Best Regards, Kimberly PS. Pictures coming soon. ;) | ||

sorry about that, Kimberly. It somehow managed to get by me that the post was over a week old and had already expired. Glad to hear everything is on track. Enjoy the bass! | ||

Robin No harm, no foul, no prob, etc etc. I suspect enjoying my new baby won't be a problem. I was at Bass Northwest yesterday playing around on a couple six stringers to 'gimme a six string fix'. It was fun but the negative is the visit increased my 'wanna have it now' anxiety as I see wonderful things happening from adding a higher string to my material/act. From North Carolina he has to travel back to the mothership for: Concealed hardware bridge to eliminate the need of routing the body, to move the bridge p/u forward to make room for a midi p/u. Upgraded electronics. Mica and me are talking about adding a filter and q switch and keeping the existing bass/treble controls intact. New nut and tail piece for 'upside down' stringing. And whatever else that comes to light when arriving at the factory and to mind, between now and coming home. Best Regards, Kimberly | ||

Hi Guys. Dan - I sure hope so! Truly, it's all up to the mothership now. Matter of fact I just realized, in speaking with Mica, I neglected to ask for a completion/shipping date estimate. I'll have to look into this. That would be sweet if I do. Robin - Thanks! I suspect "when all is said and done" I'm going to be a pretty 'happy camper', or at least a 'happy camper'! ;D Best Regards, Kimberly | ||

Kimberly, Adding the filter and Q-switch is basically upgrading to the East Meets West electronics. I selected EMW electronics when I had my fretless Orion built and have been very happy with them. I think you will like it a lot. Keith | ||

Hi Guys. Keith - 'Bassed' (sic) ;) on info from various threads I've gleaned here of late, I'm sure this upgrade is going to be well worth it, thank you. David - Thank you and thank you again! Art - I very much appreciate you and David getting together to go check out this instrument prior to me making the purchase. If there's ever a time where I could reciprocate the favor, say something at Bass Northwest for example, I'd be most pleased to be able to help. Please, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks to All! Best Regards, Kimberly |
