Garth, did you guys close the deal?
Is it yours now?
 
Greg

Yes cash transferred today. Woo Hoo... I can't wait to play this one.

You lucky dog.  Appreciate that beautiful instrument in good health for many years.
 
I am now going to bang my head repeatedly on something very hard and very substantial while cursing my poverty.

MOTHER OF PEARLS!!!
 
Garth, what about that Plexi-Glass bass...  
LOL!!!!!
 
You know I don't forget, you lucky SOB!
 
...and I was thinking serious about buying this bass too.

Thanks Hal, Greg and Paul,
 
Yep, figure that I should play a bass like this while I am still young and fit enough to get away with the 12 extra pounds (of bass).  It looks so great in the photos, can't wait to hear and play it.  
 
Chris, I'm sure there is some great kama coming your way for choosing to share this bass with me as the next owner. I'm quite sure that I will also play it until my back finally gives in and I am forced to go lighter.  
 
Been without my beloved 78 coco series one for about a month now (Alembic repairing the PF-6 card) and I now know that having only one Alembic is not ideal when you are as addicted as I am. I'm selling my PRS bass (serial number 50) and my MV Pedulla - won't need these as backup anymore. Can't say that I will miss them, eventually perhaps all my instruments will be Series 1 or 2 Alembics...

Jeez, that's at least three of us Alembic players who own PRS basses. Always thought I was the only one whose taste included these two breeds.

+1 ,  
My PRS used to be my only bass, very comfy neck.

Bass in transit...and happily, my profile just changed to Member.

I have the bass in my hands, and this is where it is staying for ever.  This is unbelievably beautiful. Chris I can't thank you enough for not keeping this under your bed....and my apoligies to the rest of you who don't get to own this fantastic instrument.
 
Wow, wow, wow.
 
Only trouble now is leaving the house...

You finally have it. Welcome to the real world. That's a baddass bass. I was going to get it if you didn't claim it first. I would never go after something I know someone else had already started biding on...
 
After I knew it was you, I was even more happy for your. That's a very unique shape for a bass, and I lover the horns and that neck is beautiful. I don't believe there's anything like it on the planet, and best of all, its yours.
 
I know dog-on well, you'll be old and gray with that bass. Don't forget to hook up with Flip's registry and a nice year book photo of that gorgeous bass Garth. That's my kind of bass you have my man.

Pictures now posted in the showcase section under custom basses. Think I am going to have to get a refinish on the 78 cocobolo just so that she doesn't end up as the ugly step sister.
