As much as I love her, I got to let her go. She needs loving and play time, which I do not provide. I have no more need for a fretless. This bass does it all...but all of you guys already know that.

This is the link from Elderly Instruments, with full pictures. I bought it from them approx. 2 years ago. I have played it a total of 15 times and it has never left my home. Well cared for.
 
Please contact me if interested.

Not sure if you are aware, but it comes with the original pre-amp as well.

I'm curious about the electronics; they appear to be a non-standard configuration.  Just curious-- not saying there's anything wrong with it.
 
Do you have any additional information about the setup?

oh my god - Brent are you sure???
I regret getting rid of my Exploiter.  
 
Think man THINK! Yeah sure its hard times and everyone could use more cash- but fer jiminii crickets sake - that is a beautiful instrument, plus the vintage of it makes it even more valueable.... if not for yourself, maybe a son or daughter?
 
My apologies for stepping out of line on this, I am certain that you thought long and hard about making this decision but my first thought when I laid eyes on that bass was - I want it! I can not afford it so then the next thought was, If I had it, it would never leave me, until I passed and then my son would inherit it.
 
be well - good luck

The add says No longer available.  Did you sell it or wise up??? LOL

Regarding the electronics, I am unaware if they are non-standard.  
 
Mike1762 - That is the add from when it was listed 2 years ago. I bought it from Elderly Instruments. I copied the add for everyone's benefit as the pictures are quite good.
 
I do know that I am the 3rd owner of the instrument. THe second owner, from who I bought her told me this is exactly how it was when he received it.
 
pauldo - I have thought about this for a long time. I cannot justify keeping her when I do not play her. That, to me is disrespectful to the instrument and Alembic. These basses are meant to be more than just keep sakes in my mind. She needs a home where she can sing.

Hi I sent you a couple of emails previously.
I'm very interested in the bass do you have
a contact number I can reach you at ?

You can email that contact information at

This bass was previously discussed here.  The controls are probably a superfilter for each pickup.

This bass has now been listed in the For Sale section.
