If you search for the item #, the link comes up nice and short: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110379905723 Is this priced about twice the market value or am I missing some added value w/ the long scales? |

Aaron, Here's a formatting trick (from the header 1 page back) "To add a link to message, try and remember to use this formatting convention: Seen_on_eBay,_and_elsewhere Within the curly braces, place the URL of the website you want to share followed by a comma and the word or phrase other Club members will click on to bring them there. Using long URLs makes the pages scroll off to the right." Mike |

Pretty sure the seller is this guy: http://www.gbase.com/Stores/Gear/GearDetails.aspx?Item=1694044 He's had the bass since the late '90s at that price, and from the one conversation I had with him, I'm surprised he's willing to let it go for only $7500. |

Why does he expect to get $7,500? It's a nice looking instrument but I saw nothing in the listing to justify this price. Series 1 basses from this era are going for $3,500-$4k these days, from what I've seen. |

I have actually talked on the phone to this guy about that bass. No Alembic is overpriced but that is a little extreme. I think Sherriff is right about the going price on this era of bass. |

To clarify, I was being sarcastic...for the last decade this bass has failed to sell at $9500, and I was mocking the seller for knocking a whole $2000 off that grossly inflated price. Another $2000 less and he might have a shot, but $7500 is absurd. Actually, his opening bid is roughly what I've spent on the five used Alembics I've owned, including the three Series basses I have now. |

I have actually tried this one out, since I live in Baltimore. The guy will sit on things forever until he gets his price. It looks better in the pictures than it does in person. |

It appears that no one purchased it ! Perhaps the price will come down even lower if and when it is re- listed . |
