This won't last long:
Alembic Essence 5-string Bass Guitar - $1650 (berkeley)  
 
 

It belongs to me now...purchased it yesterday...I am in love and such a great price...rash and ding very minor...slapped some Hi-Beams and had a great 4 hour rehearsal...will make some adjustments and take it to have Alembic look it over (they are 10 minutes from my house)....just satisfied, very satisfied

Congratulations , I know the feeling and I am happy for you too !

Wow!  Beautiful Essence!
 
Congrats Patricia; and welcome to the board!
