I actually just got this recently to see if I would want to maybe order a custom Alembic.  I do.  So I am selling this one to get $ for a down payment!  I would consider trading it for/towards a short scale Alembic.  Otherwise I just need the $$.  I thought I'd put it up here first before Ebay.  It has a generic molded hardshell-a nice case-it will hold fender basses too. It's a players bass -in nice shape with a bit of wear and nicks but nothing bad.  ONLY $900 plus 40 shipping!   cb3000(at)gmail.com

Nice bass! I really like that vermillion. And with that price, I'm sure you'll be sold in no time. Good luck!

Beautiful bass...has it sold yet?

not yet!  it's a great bass!

Has the bass sold?  I'm assuming it has but I'm interested.

i still have it.  it's hard to say goodbye to it but i ordered an excel...  would you like to see more pics?

Sure.  How can I send you the money if it's still for sale?

Sold!

based on your post expressing interest in the fretless Esscence, I am wondering if this is the one from which you are having the frets yanked.  
 
There might be better options.....

The same one.  I really see what you're saying and I'd already started to have second thoughts about having it converted.  Not that it would ruin the bass, but I'm just less willing now to take a soldering iron to it.  Sigh.  I'll cross my fingers.
