Some poor guy got a loan against it and didn't pay the loan out....very sad. It's a 34 inch scale.

I anticipate it being around for a while with what you found and the current asking price.

they offered it at a much more reasonable price so I bought it today. Merry Christmas everyone.😁

Congrats Garth,

Glad I posted it when I found it!!

There are site's both here & abroad that put Alembic's up for sale!!!

As I find them I will let everyone know!!

Great Christmas to you as well!!!

Thanks for finding it. Just couldn't let this one stay in cash converters...its no place for an Alembic...especially a 1979 series 2. It's cleaning up really well tonight.

Nice score man... yeah, vintage Series II's don't come along very often.   

Garth ,

When you get her up to speed, please post some pic's! !!!

My search continues !!!!

Looking good

Quite proud of my ebony nut. Took a few hours to make

What a Beauty!!!!!

Be blessed Garth !!!

As I said to another member ,

All the paintings must have fallen off your walls when you hit the first note !!!!!

Wow, beautiful bass, great job on the ebony nut! 

Bravo on the ebony nut!   

That's a beautiful bass, and I send my heartiest congrats on its acquisition!!  But, help me out for a sec - why the ebony nut?  Is it less sustain-y than the brass?  Or just aesthetically a nice change?  It's so unusual, and definitely pretty... I wonder why it isn't more widely sought out.
