The quality is unparalleled and the action and setup are fantastic. Ebony board with pearl markers - Mahogany body with Maple/Purpleheart neck through, All Brass hardware with a brass nut, Short Scale (measures about 30.75"), Schaller tuning keys, two humbucking pickups, stereo input (one pickup for each like the rickosound). I have talked to Alembic about the bass this week and they were excited to get pics of it. I talked to Micah who is the daughter of the owners. She's been working there for about 20 years and she said she would give me the power supply unit and the cable that connects to it for dealer cost. The power supply helps maintain max. performance from the bass. The batteries have about 20 to 30 hours of life. jack Intermediate Member Username: jack Post Number: 183 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 - 7:58 am:    Dave, would you be kind enough to move this over to Seen on Ebay, etc.?
