This guy is slightly optimistic, eh?

If I couldn't get $4500 for my super custom Epic 6 (ebony lams, chrome hardware, East Meets West Electronics, the list goes on) I don't see how in the heck he expects to get $4K for a not very custom Epic 5.

Nice bass, though, all the same;)

Peace All;)

Well, the seller is in Bulgaria.
That might make the bass worth more than one sold in Erie.

Hmn. Bill, you could be on to something, there...

My band, OTiS is coming to Dallas, soon, probably near the end of July. Stop down and I'll hook you up with a Tee-Shirt and a CD.

Peace;)

Thanks for the invite, but Dallas is a 3.5 hour drive from South Austin. I will be there in August to take my son to school.

By the way, I think his price is high, even for europe. But it's not an auction, it is set up for offers and $4000 is the most he's expecting for the bass.

Bill,

I understand. Who knows, the way things are going, we might not be playing there until August...

Yes, his price is way high, even for Europe. Nothing wrong with trying to get as much as you can, for your beloved Alembic, if you find yourself in the terrible predicament of having to sell.

Peace;)

Frank
