Looks to be a relatively nice Series I that's reasonably priced altough I wouldn't go as far as to agree with the seller that it's in 'great' condition. I wonder what the current pending offer under consideration is.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330986268000&item=330986268000&lgeo=1&vectorid=229466

Hi Hammer. That's my bass. great condition is sort of in the eye of the beholder. The bass is rock solid, only issue is some crazing and a few missing screws. Some people really dig that look, others don't. But in terms if overall condition, it's great imo. If anyone has questions, please post or text me @ two one five four three one nine five seven seven.

This should sell.  Your asking price is VERY reasonable compared to what I've seen for Series basses that are in no better or worse condition.  You might want to consider adding the scale.  Is it medium or long scale? I didn't see that in your ebay  posting.

Good point... It's a short scale - 31. I'm willing to work something out for a forum member as well.

Alembic is all about custom and I know they've made 31 basses before, but typically they tend to be short scale (30) or medium scale (32).  
 
Is it truly a 31 scale bass?

Well, based on the method I was always lead to believe was the true way to measure, it's a 31 scale. Measurement from where the fret board meets the nut to the center of the 12th fret is 15.5 X 2 = 31. If the method you adhere to is to the 12th fret and not the center of the 12th fret, then it would be a 30 scale.

Regular short scale would be 30.75. Half the difference, I guess.

Too bad I already purchased two Alembics this year. Its been my experience that older short scale series basses like yours rarely come up for scale and when they do they alwsys have SC bodies. If I could sell my Distillate I'd be all over this one. Anyone for a reasonably priced 86 walnut distillate?

Now more reasonably priced due to competition.

Take a close look at the Zebrawood Series I that is your closest competition.  I could very well be wrong, but the photos look to me like it has more than a bit of finish checking in the headstock/neck area. Seller, however,  was honest was honest in providing the photo.

In reference to that Zebrawood  Bass ,  my immediate thought upon first glance was ,  why did they put the master volume there ?  
 I much prefer the traditional Alembic Standard Point Series II location .   That Zebra Bass does have a nice top BUT now has been violated from a poor master volume mod location .  
My  2 cents worth !

Point well taken

No power supply either. I'm kind of mad because the seller asked me questions about my bass and now I know it was just to gage where he should price his. Oh well. I knocked $100 off because I want the upper hand in the situation where someone is considering both. I think mine is nicer by a mile (personal preference regarding the wood selection) and all orginal too. Hopefully someone else agrees and pulls the trigger.

An aspect apart from aesthetics is scale length. Both Bass's offer the Series I Alembic Standard Point theme but are totally different as per description scale length wise. From those facts it could be debatable how much competition there really is  depending upon the buyers criteria and needs.  I am very familiar with the variations.

I agree. It's not apples to apples. Again, just trying to get a buyer in that price range to lean towards mine, that's all. Of course a buyer in the market for a 34 scale is not going to be interested regardless of the price, but someone out there may be on the fance, who knows.
