Using long URLs makes the pages scroll off to the right."

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. danny_bryant Member Username: danny_bryant Post Number: 80 Registered: 9-2007 Posted on Thursday, April 23, 2009 - 5:15 pm:    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. kungfusheriff Senior Member Username: kungfusheriff Post Number: 833 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Friday, April 24, 2009 - 7:37 am:    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. dddavison Junior Username: dddavison Post Number: 17 Registered: 12-2007 Posted on Sunday, April 26, 2009 - 10:59 pm:    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. govegan Junior Username: govegan Post Number: 12 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 8:44 pm:    Re listed with a BIN of $5,999.00 sonicus Junior Username: sonicus Post Number: 20 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 11:01 pm:    It appears that no one purchased it ! Perhaps the price will come down even lower if and when it is re- listed .
