Hello Alembic club! I have for sale a relatively new Mark King Five String. Purchased in June 2008 from Bass Central. I've had it professionally set up - new strings, intonation, etc. Original case included - this has a couple of white paint scuffs on it, but nothing major. Bass is in perfect condition - no dings, scratches. Never played out, never left smoke free home. Bass is just amazingly beautiful. However, after 15+ years of playing, I just cannot get used to a five string. So, I want to sell this one and purchase a MK in a four string version. My first ever Alembic and I've gotta now get a MK 4! The down and dirty: 5A quilt top, 3A quilt top bottom Red and amber LED's Heart Omega cutout Tummy contour There's more to add, but I have the bass at my office. I'll update the post tomorrow. Serial number to follow - It's something like MK13xxx Pains me to see her go, but I need a four string version of this! Priced at $4750 shipped to the US only. Paypal preferred. Sorry, no international inquires please. Since I'm new to the board, you can check my ebay profile for a history (ernval). I'd consider trades, but it would have to be for an immaculate MK 4 that's very similar to mine - omega cutaway, LED's, etc. (blue LED's would be awesome!) I'll list it here until Labor Day, 9/1/08, then it's off to evilbay. Pictures to follow and thanks for looking! Ernest      (Message edited by davehouck on August 21, 2008) | ||

Hey everyone, This beauty was just delivered to my house by our friendly neighborhood fedex man. WOW! Its going to be days before I can wipe this slap-happy grin off my face! I'll get around to posting more pics eventually (if I ever put this bass down, that is!) :-D For the record, Ernest was a a great guy to deal with. Payment and shipping went off without a hitch, and the bass looks even better in real life than in those pictures above! Thanks, Ernest! -Robin | ||
