I am not in a hurry to sell this beauty, but I need to thin the herd in anticipation of a custom that I just ordered and expect later this year.  So, I suppose now is as good a time as ever to get started...

I purchased this magnificent instrument from the original owner. This is a collector-grade, dead-mint instrument that has been stored in its case.  Comes with spec sheet, original Alembic G&G hard shell case, and all case candy.

This stunning four-string bass was completed in 2014 and features absolutely gorgeous Redwood Burl top and back laminates - I can only describe the textured wood grain as somewhere between fire and lava. The body is Mahogany with Purple Heart and Maple accents. The neck is Maple/Purple Heart/Ebony.

It is medium scale - 32". It features the "Stanley Clarke" neck profile so it is a breeze to play.

Custom options include nickel-plated hardware, an inline front and back beveled peghead, continuous wood backplates, two-color (red and blue) side LED's, a bird tailpiece, and a "fat boy" pickup in the bridge position. Alembic chose an absolutely gorgeous piece of ebony for the fingerboard and there are no fingerboard inlays.

I included many photos in the listing so you can see this instrument in all its beauty.

This instrument sounds like no other I've ever played. There's a huge range of possible sounds and it really "cuts through" a band.

Asking price is $5,750 -- offers are welcome (but no trade offers, please -- don't tempt me!).

Gorgeous bass!

Any interest in trading for another Alembic (or two)?

Or are you strictly looking to sell?

Need to sell to fund a new Alembic.  Thanks.

Oops, now I see that you very clearly wrote "no trade offers".
My bad.

Gorgeous bass!

no problem at all, thanks.

Spectacular! Good luck with the sale. I bet it really IS a breeze to play.

Sold on eBay. Thanks all.
