Sorry if it is a repost.... But it a nice looking Series I!

You don't see too many short scale standard point Series basses. Interesting price. 57basstra Senior Member Username: 57basstra Post Number: 913 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Sunday, May 10, 2009 - 4:38 pm:    Interesting price indeed! mike1762 Advanced Member Username: mike1762 Post Number: 312 Registered: 1-2008 Posted on Sunday, May 10, 2009 - 5:16 pm:    The bridge/tailpiece is where you would expect it for a long scale and the fret spacing looks like a long scale as well. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 8036 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, May 10, 2009 - 7:53 pm:    Good point Mike! gregduboc Intermediate Member Username: gregduboc Post Number: 147 Registered: 11-2008 Posted on Sunday, May 10, 2009 - 8:01 pm:    It seems to be a pretty neat bass... About the short scale observation.... I don't know... I don't think G Guitars would post something that wrong, being an Alembic dealer... But the fret spacing does look a bit long scale-ish.... Maybe if someone here gives it a new home, we will find out!

I played this instrument at G guitar. it in unscratched condition; but needs a complete cleaning and setup. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 8039 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, May 10, 2009 - 8:44 pm:    Thanks Ray! Greg; it could just be a transposition error, typing one thing when you meant to type the other. juggernaught Advanced Member Username: juggernaught Post Number: 286 Registered: 3-2007 Posted on Sunday, May 10, 2009 - 9:46 pm:    Maybe they did that with the price as well :D gregduboc Intermediate Member Username: gregduboc Post Number: 148 Registered: 11-2008 Posted on Monday, May 11, 2009 - 6:50 am:    Dave, I guess you are right! Hopefully no one will be fooled by that wrong info!! Greg
