Hi Alembic-friends, i'm just wondering, how much the market/street price for second-hand Alembics (like new condition) with this specs:
Series II - 6 string JB Body shape
finish - bluish
side RED LEDs.
power cable + the Series II power supply (rack model)
i haven't take the pic yet but it looks similar like this but in blue

i really need your advice, thanks

Hello,
Before the economy took a dive, second-hand Series basses were changing hands for about $4,000 US, but in a worldwide recession priorities have certainly changed. The used bass market seems to have fallen off.
Another factor to consider is the relative rarity of six-string Series 2s. I'm not sure how many have been made over the years, but the number is small. If the bass you're looking at is as good as mine, I would urge you to spend whatever you can to buy it. You only live once, and it's only money.

Are you looking to sell or buy?

^^ to buy
but maybe swap with Fodera monarch 4 bolton + Fender Jazz 76 like new condition.
is it good?

The Fodera is a high-end bass in its own right.  The Fender is what it is.  I can't recall seeing many Series IIs for sale... much less a 6 string.  This may be your only opportunity to let someone else take the depreciation.  I'd do it.

here's the pic..

upss
sorry mod, please remove 2 posts above, my internet error

If you decide to pass... I (and others here) might be interested.

still not mine yet...
the owner still consider sell to me or swap with my 2 basses...

The Fodera is a Bolt on? I would have thought approx 2 seconds about swapping the two basses, grab it wile you still can!  
Looks like a very good deal to me.

I love the JB body.  You have a great deal.  If you pass, let us know or send the seller to us.

Man, I would buy that in a heartbeat...

Swap those basses for it now. Alembics are the standard of excellence. Nice blue stain.
