Is there an average discount percentage from the list price? eastcoastepic Intermediate Member Username: eastcoastepic Post Number: 145 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Wednesday, August 10, 2005 - 6:58 pm:    If purchased directly from Alembic, you shall pay actual list. If purchased from an Alembic dealer, they often discount 10 to 30 per cent off of list (depending on dealer, & depending on actual instrument). Excellent deals are often found here on this forum, also. (Recently, a Rogue 5 was offered for $1500; granted, it was pre-owned, but at 50-60% discount from new, in great shape...jeez, whatta deal!) Best of luck........ davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 2192 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, August 10, 2005 - 8:56 pm:    Alembic no longer allows a discount of 30%. Val's comments on discount policy can be found here. eastcoastepic Intermediate Member Username: eastcoastepic Post Number: 146 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Thursday, August 11, 2005 - 8:39 pm:    Oops...thanks, Dave...I missed that thread.

I always get into trouble everytime price/money is mentioned, LOL! I behaved myself on the mega-thread RE: new dealer pricing, and I'll behave myself here. bigredbass Senior Member Username: bigredbass Post Number: 450 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Saturday, August 13, 2005 - 7:45 pm:    I prefer to steal them (barely) used . . . there's always some schmuck that bought one, couldn't 'get it', went back to his PBass, and now he wants to sell out to pay for something else. And like all the luthier basses, they are lot$ cheaper on the used market. Dealer pricing is none of my business. J o e y
