Get it. I have two from '82, and it was a very good year. | ||

82 a good year? I've never heard that before.. are there any bad years? or was 82 a particularly good year for some reason? | ||

Gosh, now I'm just curious since it has been taken down from the Bass Emporium site. What was it? Good luck to all. I hope it finds a good home in the club with those reactions. | ||

We have a confirmed kill... head shot! Mission accomplished. I bought the bass and it is on it's way to Portland, OR. He sent me close ups of it and it doesn't get any sweeter than this... I have 3 Europa's: a '91, a newer custom Coco Bolo, and my newest Series II Coco Bolo. Anyways, I have been looking for a vintage Alembic Series for some time now in mint shape, and this was it. I will let you know when she gets here. Merry X-mas to me! Andy | ||

The bass is a medium-scale cocobolo Omega Series 2 four-string. Congratulations, Andy. spose, I've played a few Alembics and owned five, and my '82s are probably my favorites. | ||

Hello- No problem - $5000 shipped. Fair price, from what I have seen over the years, especially given it condition! Andy | ||

Hey Folks- So I got this bass and it is in AMAZING condition... you will never find a more near mint '82 Series II - I promise you. Plays and sounds amazing as well, of course, but ergonomically it just isn't going to work for me. I am going to return it to Bas Emporium and eat shipping both ways - but I thought I would throw this out here just in case someone else wants to buy me out for the full amount - $5000 plus shipping and any Paypal fees, if used. Let me know ASAP as I am sending it back soon... Thanks, Andy afort@pacifier.com | ||
