That with the Series 1 electronics. Hmmm, should I try to sell my JPJ and go for this one? Tempting. longhorncat Advanced Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 310 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Friday, April 24, 2009 - 7:07 am:    You should buy this one now and see which one you like better. ;) bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 2310 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Friday, April 24, 2009 - 7:14 am:    Bill has it right. If money allows, it's always better to buy and try before letting go of the known quantity. Shorter scale lengths are awesome for a little extra speed or comfort moving around the neck. longhorncat Advanced Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 311 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Friday, April 24, 2009 - 7:23 am:    Of course, if you are like most around here, you'll end up keeping both. kungfusheriff Senior Member Username: kungfusheriff Post Number: 834 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Friday, April 24, 2009 - 7:43 am:    Yeah, really.

I can't say the same for my stocks. I should have bought more Alembics!! olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 2315 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Friday, April 24, 2009 - 8:39 am:    Same here Bill. OO PS. That bass is in your neck of the woods, maybe time for you to "invest". enzo Junior Username: enzo Post Number: 16 Registered: 4-2009 Posted on Friday, April 24, 2009 - 8:46 am:    Beautiful. Really tempting ! longhorncat Advanced Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 313 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Friday, April 24, 2009 - 10:09 am:    My "spare" cash is sitting a few vintage Fenders. I expect a serious ROI on those. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 2318 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Friday, April 24, 2009 - 10:17 am:    I hear ya! The old Fenders are very collector appealling. Still this a good price on that S-1. OO kenonbass Junior Username: kenonbass Post Number: 20 Registered: 4-2008 Posted on Friday, April 24, 2009 - 11:26 am:    I want to keep my Fenders and my wife just reminded me that she wants new windows and siding. Bye, bye sweet Series 1 opportunity! enzo Junior Username: enzo Post Number: 17 Registered: 4-2009 Posted on Wednesday, April 29, 2009 - 3:42 pm:    Didn't sell yet ! Do you guys think there's a particualr reason or he's just out of luck ? longhorncat Advanced Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 316 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Wednesday, April 29, 2009 - 6:33 pm:    The market is tight.

I think ( for that little I know about Alembics )that the price is right and actually he's also accepting offers. longhorncat Advanced Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 317 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Wednesday, April 29, 2009 - 7:32 pm:    There is nothing wrong with the bass. It takes a while, even in good times, to sell a $3700 instrument. enzo Junior Username: enzo Post Number: 21 Registered: 4-2009 Posted on Wednesday, April 29, 2009 - 8:13 pm:    I see, thanks for the info. After buying my first Alembic, recently, I'm boiling, I want another one ! haha longhorncat Advanced Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 318 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Wednesday, April 29, 2009 - 10:24 pm:    A Series bass will certainly scratch any Alembic itch you might have. georgie_boy Senior Member Username: georgie_boy Post Number: 699 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Thursday, April 30, 2009 - 5:12 am:    What strings are those??? longhorncat Advanced Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 319 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Thursday, April 30, 2009 - 5:25 am:    Optima/Maxima Gold Strings davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 7977 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Thursday, April 30, 2009 - 5:11 pm:    Looks like Bill sold his bass. longhorncat Advanced Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 320 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Thursday, April 30, 2009 - 5:25 pm:    Sorry to see it go, but it's going to a good home in NJ. enzo Junior Username: enzo Post Number: 25 Registered: 4-2009 Posted on Thursday, April 30, 2009 - 9:46 pm:    "Sold !
