For sale: Custom Alembic fretless 5. Series I body with omega cut out, 5 piece hippie sandwich with Coco Bolo top and back, mahogany core, and maple layers, 7 piece maple/purple heart neck, cone head stock, brass bridge block, ebony fingerboard with maple lines, red side LED's, the build sheet calls the electronics custom (volume, blend, and a Q filter for each pick up) but I believe it's now the signature series electronics, hard shell case, plastic and brass control cavity covers, original strap buttons as well as the schallers currently installed. serial # is 89C5435.
 
The bass is in near mint condition. the only flaws are a small amount of string wear on the fingerboard (very,very light for a bass this old) and a small ding on the upper arm bout. Asking $4300 OBO.
 
I'm helping my friend sell this bass so he can pay taxes. Trades will be considered, as long as cash is partially involved. Feel free to call (513-379-2004) or e-mail (modulus@fuse.net) me for pics, sound clips, and info. Thanks for looking!

Welcome to the club, Justin.
 
Good luck!

Thanks for the welcome! I figured since I've got the Alembic logo tatooed on my leg I should maybe join!

ooooh- the plot thickens.  Pictures are always good (The bass and the tattoo). =)
 
Welcome aboard!

this is a killer bass
it plays itself and looks brand new
owned by a prominent midwestern player.
if i had the $ it would be mine.

don't feel bad for Hooks not having the cash to buy this, he just got a bad ass series I I wanted! all the pics I have of the bass for sale are too big to post, as for the tatoo, I'll see if I can snap a pic of my nasty leg for you all. My autograph covered Epic 5 is far more interesting though

a few pics can be seen over here:
