As much as I love her, I got to let her go. She needs loving and play time, which I do not provide. I have no more need for a fretless. This bass does it all...but all of you guys already know that. http://www.elderly.com/vintage/items/55U-3408.htm This is the link from Elderly Instruments, with full pictures. I bought it from them approx. 2 years ago. I have played it a total of 15 times and it has never left my home. Well cared for. Please contact me if interested. wilson_brent@bellsouth.net | ||

OK, what do all those knobs do? This is a very tempting bass! I love an Alembic fretless. Jim Cammack has done some great stuff on his with Ahmad Jamal. Edwin | ||

Edwin: Based on another thread about this bass, the extra knobs represent an SF-2 for each pick-up! Bill, tgo | ||

That's my guess. However, you may want to run the serial number by Mica first. If it is indeed a superfilter then the supercool factor is a significant consideration. | ||

Looks like a great studio instrument, but tweaking those knobs live on stage has to take as much dexterity as any tune I play. A real classic, though, and probably puts forth great tone no matter how you set it. | ||

Mica should have the serial number. I registered the bass in the database, upon purchasing it. The tone on this bass is really unlike most fretless basses i have played. Of course, all of the extra knobs will allow you to dial in to any sound you want. From Wah-Wah to upright fretless... | ||

As an FYI, san diego bass player just called. The bass is his assuming he can come up with the funds. For now, this sale is on hold until further notice. Thanks! | ||

San Diego Bass Player - proposed a trade, which while nice, is just not practical for me at this time. SALE IS BACK ON. WOULD TRADE FOR A CARL THOMPSON 1970's BASS or POSSIBLY A FRETTED ALEMBIC. I can be as patient as is necessary to find this baby a new happy home. | ||

Have you considered sending it back to the mothership to be fretted? I would hate to part with it myself and would be so inclined. It is a beaut! | ||

Great idea Gary, that's what I'd do. OO | ||

I'm usually up for something like that, Gary, but in this case, I would lean toward leaving it as is. To preserve the LEDs would cost $$. It's also likely that the finish would be damaged, and it has aged so nicely, I'd hate to do anything to disrupt the mojo it's developed after all these years. | ||

I agree with Mica. This bass is very unique for a fretless. besides...the fretboard is so stunning as it is!!! | ||

I see your point Mica and would agree, now if I could find a way to purchase it....  | ||

As of now...the bass is spoken for. The fellow buying it will keep me posted. He is planning on picking it up in person in about 2 weeks. I will let you know when everything is finalized, so we can mark this one off the list. She is going to a new home where she will no doubt get the care she deserves. Thanks All!! | ||
