I see you are from the Isle of Wight. That's Level 42's home territory. I hope you find a bass to your liking. This is really the best place to find out about them and maybe secure a sale. There seem to be quite a few Alembics appearing for sale these days on this forum and on Ebay.

Maybe not such a great time to shift your Wal but definitely a good time to make a purchase. Alembics pop up on Basschat uk from time to time too, but you will only find the wealth of knowledge about Alembics here. Check out the specs of basses on the custom quote calculator.

It's a fab bass and you can catch me playing it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3j6iMJINIrI I'm currently working on an album project with that band, we have most of the tracking done so onto overdubs and mixing next month, I've used the Alembic on all but one of the tracks it's been a joy. I'm Jakesbass on basschat I'll keep an eye out for you over there too.
