If you play any slap bass you should reconsider selling a small bodied funk machine.  You can literally wrap you upper arm around the left lower body curve of the bass.  Makes it real easy to slap.  Many 80's bassist played this way..just for example.  This position has many advantages for technique.  
 
You can't really do this as well with the usual bass, including other Alembic's.  just saying.

Well folks, I sold it, there was so many folks that wanted it that I let her go. Back to the drawing board.

Wow, what a beauty. Your price was quite low!
