I so prefer the "standard" string spacing, otherwise it's a beauty. It's actually not ery different from your old Distillate in terms of features. |

I wonder what it would take for Alembic to replace the custom inlay with a regular one to match the other inlays... Mica? This seems like a great bass for a "high C" 5 string tuning... Andy |

In the Bid History it lists me as o***n to protect me from the evils of the black market. Quick Andy, bid on this sucker, so I don't end up having to shell out $2,500 for it. It does bother me a bit that the quote generated on the page is not for this bass. A 'quick pick' deficit from the list is that the bass definitely does not have a cocobolo back on it. Then again, he started the bidding low enough, and buyer beware, its on eBay. |

Hello- Yeah, I noticed the false Coco Bolo back line item as well on the quote... It looks like a great bass, I just wish the custom inlay wasn't there. I am waiting for a full response to my question that he posted about the exact condition of the bass. Pending his response, I may bid... But $2500 is a fair price, IMHO. Andy |
