Looks pretty cool i already got an Europa 5 string fretless on order but, looks like it would be a great bass for someone who would appreciate it. May recommend it to a friend. thumbsup Member Username: thumbsup Post Number: 64 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Tuesday, August 12, 2008 - 9:21 pm:    Yea!That blue moon burst, it's an incredibly beautiful bass. I already have a Rogue fretted 5 though....looking for a maple fretless 5. speicky Advanced Member Username: speicky Post Number: 312 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Wednesday, August 13, 2008 - 12:17 am:    Here's the link... beautiful bass ! basstard Intermediate Member Username: basstard Post Number: 184 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Wednesday, August 13, 2008 - 3:09 am:    I wonder how much will it go for... robinc Member Username: robinc Post Number: 62 Registered: 5-2008 Posted on Wednesday, August 13, 2008 - 8:53 am:    I am smitten by this bass! I'll be watching it closely... Hopefully I can welcome it into my bass family as my very first Alembic!

I'd get clarification from the seller asking if those quick change switches have really been changed to something else. It could be that the seller is just hearing the effect of the cut/normal/boost and assuming it's single coil, series and parallel, but it's worth confirming that the electronics haven't been mucked with. basstard Intermediate Member Username: basstard Post Number: 185 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2008 - 1:18 am:    I'd have a go at it but my Senior Management said she hated the colour and if I wanted to buy an Alembic it has to be a natural-finished one, or in the "worst" case sunburst... robinc Member Username: robinc Post Number: 65 Registered: 5-2008 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2008 - 11:19 am:    The seller writes: "I am sure you are correct with the switch configurations. From what I can tell the electronics appear to be factory and with NO modifications after production." mcdonger Member Username: mcdonger Post Number: 66 Registered: 4-2007 Posted on Saturday, August 16, 2008 - 6:33 pm:    Wasn't this same bass bought and sold recently on ebay?
