I bought it brand new about 3 yrs ago and need to sell it soon. I really hate to do this but my wife and I are splitting up and I need the extra cash. It is in like new condition. Please email me with any reasonable offers. I prefer a local sell(Austin, Texas)but could ship it if it comes down to it. Also I'm selling a 1992 Les Paul Classic if interested.

Can anyone tell me if that's a good price or am I asking to much? Thanks for any help I can get.

Carl; I think it would be helpful to post the build information that is on the card that came with the bass. Also, more pictures would be helpful. But, I don't think $4K for a 2006 SC Deluxe is unreasonable, based on transactions I've seen recently. It just depends upon who's looking for what at any given point in time.

Ok someone help I'm confused. My receipt says SC "Deluxe" but my build card says SC "Standard". This is the first time I've ever noticed this. I sure hope Bass Central didn't pull a fast one on me. My wife took our camera but I'll try and get more pics up ASAP. I've played this bass a bit but only at my home, it's never been played out.

From your single picture, it looks like a Deluxe not a Standard (coco bolo top, purpleheart neck lams). The receipt implies that the back is also coco bolo. Is that correct?

If so, I would call Mica to see if she could shed a little more light on the subject.

I took it out and cleaned it up and upon closer inspection I would like to add that the bridge and the nut is a little tarnished and that the logo on the neck PU has a little fade on the "MBI" part from playing. Also there is a small flaked area at the corner of the neck, treble side, by the serial number plate, not really sure how that got there. Other than that there is not a scratch on it. I'll try and get some detailed pics up soon. I think excellent condition is a better description than like new.

The serial number shows that it is a Deluxe.

This is a Signature Deluxe. I recognize the handwriting of the person that filled out your woodcard, this is not the only mistake they made of this nature. They don't work here anymore.

In fact, there are other errors on your woodcard, like the spelling of "Clarke" and the finish type is incorrect, and recorded on the veneers line. Oh boy!

They already made him Saint ? Patron of all the low frequencies :-)

Anyway, beautiful bass, if I was on the market for something like this I would have jumped on it.
Good luck with the sale.

Thanks Dave, thanks Mica.

I'm working on getting more pics up. My wife took off with our digital camera so hopefully I can borrow one today. Yes, it's a short scale.

Good news a buddy of mine is going to loan me his camera either today or tomorrow, hope to be in business soon. Meanwhile here are a couple pics of my 1992 Gibson Les Paul Classic. I was thinking $1500 or best offer. Hit me up if anyone else is interested. This is really bumming me out but I got no choice.

Alright here are a few pics we took today of the 2006 Alembic SCD up for sale. Also I'd like to add that my Gibson Les Paul Classic is an 1991 model not a 1992 as stated earlier. For some reason I got the dates mixed up with it and my wifes 1992 Pedulla bass. Please forgive me it's been a very long week so far.

Carl,
I absolutely love it! But money is tight right now. Sorry that you must sell it and wish you the best of everything moving forward.

Sweet bass.

Thom, if you're still watching, I've been looking for you. Drop me a line if you would.

Mike
