Bassline still available. speicky Advanced Member Username: speicky Post Number: 300 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Saturday, June 28, 2008 - 11:02 am:    so, Werner, did you get your fretless Alembic for the Stingray, or did you "just" sell it ? ...just curious Christian thebass Advanced Member Username: thebass Post Number: 241 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Saturday, June 28, 2008 - 12:16 pm:    I "just" sold it But now I'm able to continue hunting with a little more cash in the back. Not easy to get a fretless Alembic in Europe. Sometimes american sellers are a bit shy to sell or trade to Europe speicky Advanced Member Username: speicky Post Number: 301 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Saturday, June 28, 2008 - 2:44 pm:    you cannot blame our friends across the pond, Werner, it's a mess filling out the necessary documents... if they get the correct advice at all I bought overseas twice, and had a friend travel with one bass to Switzerland and picked it up there and declared it at our beloved Customs Authorities, and travelled myself for the second acquisition... a far better alternative ! My very first Alembic is just around your block, Eva is in Leverkusen, to be precise. Please kick my *$$... so, there are chances that you will find a suitable bass within reasonable travel distance also... here's crossing my fingers for you, your Christian thebass Advanced Member Username: thebass Post Number: 242 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Saturday, June 28, 2008 - 3:51 pm:    Don't get me wrong, I don't want to blame someone and are also not aware of the paperwork to be done. I only see sometimes Alembics not getting sold on ebay which might have easily been sold if the seller would only accept shipping to Europe.
