Ed,
 
Elderly's has a 1975 Series II 4 string fretless (SN: 75 241) for sale. Price seems high though, it's listed at $6850:  http://www.elderly.com/vintage/items/55U-3408.htm

Thanks, I saw that one but like you said the price is a little steep, although it does have two superfilters built in. Thanks for the heads up anyway,

Ed,
What looks like a flamed walnut Epic 4 is being offered on craigslist Baltimore for $750.

Ed; I sent you an email, but it now occurs to me that perhaps the email address in your profile is not one you check often.

Dave,
Just got your e-mail, been out of town.
Thanks,

H Dog;
 
I've been thinking about this, I work swing and don't play anymore. I bought this lined fretless with LEDs and AAAAA quilt as I got the job. I bought it used, but there is not even a single wipe scratch on it, it is truly as new.
 
Let me know,
 
Robert

I'm considering it. I'm not sure. Here's the build record:
 
Hi Robert,
 
Here's what's in the instrument file:
 
Highly Custom Essence (though that's just for pricing, there isn't
much on here that would be classified as an Essence any more)
 
top: Quilted Maple (original owner selected the woods)
accent: Purpleheart
core: Mahogany
back: Quilted Maple
neck: Maple and Purpleheart, 34 long scale
fingerboard: Ebony lined fretless with side LEDs in red
body shape: Stinger
peghead shape: Crown
pickups: MXY
electronics: Europa
backplates: Plastic (one of the few features from an Essence!)
hardware: polished brass
originally made for: private individual
birthday: October 25, 1999
 
Back in 1999, the silver circles were not standard with side LEDs, but
now they are.
 
There are two previous owners recorded for this bass. It's a pretty
unusual piece.
 
 
 
------------------
 
I think I'm the second owner Mica is talking about.

Robert,
Can you please send me an email with your asking price?
I am also looking for a pre-owned Alembic fretless bass.
Thanks

Let me give Mark a few days to think about it, he really should have dibs if I'm going to sell it.

Fair enough Robert, actually pretty decent of you.  Give me a shout if Mark declines.
