Hi,
I am looking for a 5 or 6 string alembic. Anyone?

I have one on consignment at bass NW,

The action is very low, requires a light touch ...
(might drop the price a little soon)

thanx, I keep on tracking this one!

Does that Elan come with a fold over hinge at the nut cos it ain't ever gonna fit that case otherwise -).
 
Crisp looking bass that one, I missed out on a 4 stringer on ebay this summer.
 
All the best to you both.

I think the picture is misleading. The bass is held in a stand by the head and is off the ground. Case is flat on the ground.
It's one of them there optical dillusions.

Here is a Nice 6
The price is right but look out for the snipers.

strange enough;
when playing the Red Elan 5, it still looks 'real big'... very comfy sorta 'big'.

I've been considering selling my Orion 5. Let me know if you're interested.

Hi,
What is the asking price for the Orion 5? Do you got pictures? mw.vandergrient@orange.nl
Hope to hear from you, Marco
