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

I've never heard that before..

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!

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!

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
