Argh, I missed out on the series 1 that was on sale here, mainly because seller didn't want to ship to the EU. So, if anyone has a series 1 or 2 fiver they want to part with, at the same price (approx 4000usd) I'm very interested.
Well, I won this auction on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alembic-Essence-Custom-5-string-bass-guitar-Macassar-Ebony-side-LEDs-hard-case-/111306105852?&autorefresh=true (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alembic-Essence-Custom-5-string-bass-guitar-Macassar-Ebony-side-LEDs-hard-case-/111306105852?&autorefresh=true)
So I'm a happy camper. (Hope I won't have too much of a craving for those single coils)
