Boy, am I happy! Just got my third Alembic. I think this one is a beauty! I would really like to more about it...as I have two Epics, this will be a new experience for me!    (Message edited by davehouck on April 14, 2006) | ||

Nice figuring! I like the transition from burl to flame on the long horn. Congrats on the Elan! | ||

got the bass from germany at 2pm today - boy, is it nice? not a mark on it = as new! just holding it has a very nice feeling to it...eccelent craftmanship, iīd say! itīll be interesting to compare a neck-through with my Epics.... | ||

I saw this bass on ebay last week and I'm verry close in obtaining it, but why was it returned to Germany so quickly? | ||

Thanx for all the help speicky (maybe grab some beers after I kicked that a**) and offcourse albrecht for clearing it up I almost sold my beloved Fender Jazz Bass V 50th anniversary for this scam!

good! you should always be vigilant when buying on eBAY - eBAY is full of scam-artists profiting on our insatiable lust for ALMBIC! :-)! | ||

Hi, Kristjan, hello, FC, I am really glad that my email reached FC in time, so no money has gone down the drain. I have this auction still saved in my ebay watch list and will report this scam to ebay. I recently sold my Essence fiver on ebay. Almost no question received, but $1.500 on my bank account two days after the end of the auction. Easy deal, easy money when you want to ripp folks off... Now, enough hijacking on this thread, Kristjan, back to celebration of your gorgeous Elan ! I hope you play your baby in good health for a very long time. Christian (the faker) P.S.: Did I read "beer" somewhere down this thread ??? ;-) | ||

Allright, there are some comments on e-bay on my own thread http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/27772.html?1147461186 Back to the Elan, this is absolute one of the most beautiful Alembics i've ever seen!Albrecht is right about never ever selling it. p.s. speicky you've read wrong, it said 'beers' Cheers F.C. | ||

Hey FC, I see you also have a Fender Prodigy bass. I also have one (not too many around). What do you think of it? Bye, Dave | ||

Hey gtrguy! I love that bass, but I think the electronics are a bit to much, I've recently bypassed it totaly using only a switch to select pick-ups. I'm thinking of getting Alembic p-j pick-ups and electronics in there, I think that will sound great. "plays like butter" no fret buzzes or speed limits on that neck!Don't use it much onstage though because of the priceless autographs from my hero's... But hey gtrguy, what do you think of albrechts splendid Elan? Cheers! F.C. | ||

The Elan is very nice! I've got a 6 stringer Elan. The Prodigy has the highest output of anything I own. It's good for jam sessions where the house band players try to start you out turned way down! It puts out some volume! Bye, gtrguy. |
