Man, if I ever become the owner of am Alembic Rogue 5....I won't sell her either! I have E Bayed & Googled my bloody fingers raw! I would love to order her to my imaginations delight ....maybe some day. After 35 yrs of playing I have become obsessed with her. Can't get her off my mind. I know shes out there and when we finally meet I know the chemestry will be there and we will bond and grow old together! I promise I will treat her right and play only with her! I will always remember our birthdate and the promise made... You are being elusive my sweet, but I feel destiny will prevail and soon we shall meet...til then I hope your being well cared for with little stress & tension in you life....rubbed and massaged regulally and strings change on time and kept in a safe place. It is ..your destiny to be with me! It is our destiny to be together! We will become one!           Patiently Waiting......Steve

Chuck Levin's had some new 'old stock' Rogues a year or so ago- I'm not sure if they are still there (website doesn't show them, but I'm not sure the website ever did).
 
Might be worth a call?  Here is the link to the original thread here on the forum

Good luck- let us know what you find.

Here you have it!

Maybe they should change their shop name from Integrity to Boundless Optimism. Sheesh.

If you have the dough, here is a nice Ziricote Rogue 5 string that seems to be under the radar...

I am talking to chucklevins and bassandbeyound now! They both are nice basses. I did find the Ziricote before but forgot to mark it so I'm definetly thankful Andy caught it! I'm leaning toward the Ziricote cause its got side LEDs and a hard shell case. Looks like its seen some playing time but nothing wrong with that. I do have a question if some can answer for me. The Ziricote has Europa eletronics. Is that a good thing or should it have Rogue eletronics (if theres such a thing)?    Steve

The Rogue/Europa electronics package is one and the same.

The Rogue uses the Europa electronics. I think the naming is the result of what which bass came first.  
 
I really like the Europa electronics. The quick change switches are great for live use.

Well Now I've got three to choose from.
chucklevins..Maple but haven't gotten photos of her yet,Integrity/E Bay Ziricote,BassandBeyound Ziricote. Price range varies but I think I'm going to hook up with one of these ladies.
I made an offer on the Ziricote w/LEDs... we'll see... Later...Thanks for the info bros   Steve

I really like Bass & Beyond as a store - they are tiny, but carry some really nice basses - a lot of stuff that you don't normally see. Hope you end up with one of these! Just beware - once you get bitten by the bug, the Alembics keep calling to you...

Harry, I was impressed also with bass & beyound because he called me back within 30 minutes of my e mail to him. And its to late.I played one before and love the sound.I got the virus already. Hoping to find a matching Rogue 5 frettless.

Hey Keith   Thanks for the info on the electronics. It'll probably take me some time to figure it out but I do have a MTD with similar eletronics. It'll be an enticing experience anyway!

Question?.......used rogue 5 w/side LEDs & case $4500 or...old stock rogue 5 no frills w/ case $2500   Whats the best deal or value/investment? Any Opinions ?
