Four strings is adequate for a simple country boy like me. I prefer the body without the standard point (by the tailpiece) that stops you leaning it in the corner. I don't mind some wear and buckle rash. Medium or long scale. I'm no expert, so advise me if you want ... maybe a S2 would suit me. Cash buyer, or swap my lush Persuader plus cash?

This is the UK Alembic Distributor UK American guitar company and this one I think is in Germany Station Music You may find something comes up there from time to time. Happy hunting.

Not sure whether it is still available. http://alembic.com/club/messages/395/64652.html jas Junior Username: jas Post Number: 21 Registered: 4-2008 Posted on Saturday, December 04, 2010 - 2:12 pm:    Wow, that sure is pretty, but a little radical for me. I prefer the smaller body, with shorter 'horns'. And I won't be in the US on business for a few months. But I really appreciate your help and support in the search! slawie Advanced Member Username: slawie Post Number: 287 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Monday, December 06, 2010 - 7:01 pm:    John, What about something like this? If I don't find work soon I will have to sell. slawie jas Junior Username: jas Post Number: 22 Registered: 4-2008 Posted on Tuesday, December 07, 2010 - 1:07 am:    Slawie, Looks good - though I already feel bad that someone would have to sell their Alembic because they couldn't find work. You're not in the cricket team are you?

Cute and lovely figured wood, but I think I prefer the earlier style. I love the neck ... uonra Junior Username: uonra Post Number: 16 Registered: 6-2008 Posted on Wednesday, December 08, 2010 - 4:27 am:    Hello, I'm based in Belgium , are you interessed in a distilated fretted? if yes I need your mail adress to send you the pictures.... please send at claude.arnou@skynet.be regards Claude lozbass Junior Username: lozbass Post Number: 16 Registered: 5-2008 Posted on Friday, December 10, 2010 - 4:45 am:    Hi Jas, I'm based in the UK and may have a bass that is of interest - fretted and point body I'm afraid but a Series 1 in absolutely as new condition.
