I might consider a persuader or spoiler with the right top or a signature if it is priced low enough. Nothing with an offset body like an epic or essence. Let me know!

One built in '83 just went up for sale ($2250) at Lark Street Music in Jersey. From the photos it looks clean except for having the jack area broken and reinforced. Ask for Buzzy. http://www.larkstreetmusic.com/stock.html pauldo Senior Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 528 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Thursday, December 30, 2010 - 12:10 pm:    Zebrawood Distillates are the schnizel! The price from the link above is decent . . . go for it - you won't be sorry! melancholy_mechanic New Username: melancholy_mechanic Post Number: 6 Registered: 12-2010 Posted on Friday, December 31, 2010 - 3:48 pm:    Thanks for the link. Nice looking bass but I think I'll wait til something pops up without a major repair like that! bassthang New Username: bassthang Post Number: 9 Registered: 1-2011 Posted on Saturday, March 12, 2011 - 6:07 am:    Okay, I bought the one mentioned above at Lark Street. My first Alembic bass. Always wanted one since the 70s. What can I say that hasn't already been said? It's great. Plays like a dream. Sounds like a dream. (The jack has been repaired most solidly; it's not going anywhere.) dannobasso Senior Member Username: dannobasso Post Number: 1354 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Saturday, March 12, 2011 - 6:53 am:    Nice guys there. I'm bringing in a couple of my basses for fret dressing this week. I haven't developed my filing skills yet. Congrats. Alembics can be addicting. johnobass New Username: johnobass Post Number: 3 Registered: 4-2011 Posted on Tuesday, April 19, 2011 - 2:34 pm:    Wanted essence 4 or 5 string must be in good condition. Cheers Johno.
