Absolutely love it. Someone take this off the market and ease my mind. Walnut Elan BassNW has four used Alembics for sale. gkweston Junior Username: gkweston Post Number: 39 Registered: 2-2009 Posted on Thursday, March 26, 2009 - 7:06 pm:    They're good people, so I hear. That's where my buddy got his '94 Epic that he adores. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 2206 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Thursday, March 26, 2009 - 8:08 pm:    Don't "fret" it Mike, just do it.

I got a Hamer 12 and Epifani UL 902c head from them. Very easy to deal with, friendly and good service. jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 1388 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, March 27, 2009 - 3:45 am:    Sure is a beauty and one of my favourite Alembic body shapes. bigbadbill Senior Member Username: bigbadbill Post Number: 505 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Friday, March 27, 2009 - 5:21 am:    For those interested there's a similar bass in the Bass Gallery in the UK. I believe it's around £1500UK. jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 1389 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, March 27, 2009 - 6:37 am:    wow I better check that out. hehehe jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 1390 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, March 27, 2009 - 6:45 am:    wow I better check that out. hehehe davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 7795 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, March 27, 2009 - 3:34 pm:    Very nice looking Elan. Very unusual strap pin placements. jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 1391 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, March 27, 2009 - 11:38 pm:    Hi I rang the shop yesterday and had a chat with them about the bass. It's a commission sale for a customer. jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 1392 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, March 27, 2009 - 11:41 pm:    Probably a previous owner was a left hander. Just a thought.
