OMG... I am in lust!  I was pondering tracking down a Classico a while ago and then my job ended.    
 
What can i do to bring this one in to the family?  ... dream-on is probably the most realistic answer.

that's my valentine's day costume, normally I'm the voice of reason..snicker, snicker. but I could hear you wavering across town. You can blame it on me later.

I found the thread from back in June 2006 when I was thinking about locating a Classico.  
The thread is: http://club.alembicguitars.net/Images/393/29143.html
At that time Mica recalled that We've made about 20 Classicos which is 1/5th the 100 which the eBay listing mentions.  This thread of course did not stay on topic and I got a bunch of ribbing because of my lack of familiarity with Stanley (the one from Philly); so there are some good chuckles in this thread.  
 
In preparation for the eventuality that I go completely crazy and bid on this bass.   I must point out to all of you that are obsessed with like-new condition Alembics that this bass appears to have 2 or 3 scratches on its back below the neck joint. Therfore this bass is completely ruined and has been renedered entirely unsuitable for you to to even considder placing a bid.

Go for it Eugene. I had contemplated bidding on it but have decided not to. I have too much going on at this time.
 
I wonder if they've ever made a Classico with side LED's.HMMMMM

i looked at the thread  
this was indeed the bass that was sold to gino and then bought for the ebayer.  
i am the new owner.......am picking it up myself and seller asked to meet direwolf-of course he can come for the ride... dont even have to stop to walk him
:-)

Congrats on the Classico Jeff. After you get it and play it for a while give us the scoop.
I was looking hard at it but am glad you go it.
Enjoy it.

here is what i can tell you
i posted this in the showcase
 
the bass was tweaked by ron after the seller bought it. according to seller's comments in email and confirmed by mica when i spoke to her today, it may be the best sounding classico they ever made (so far- esp with that coco in prod) and it's response has been the guide/model for every classico made after it.  
 
got one more alembic coming then i AM done

Congrats Flax!
