here's my 2008 Alembic Rogue 4 string for sale (no trades sorry)

It's in excellent condition with no issues.

It's built with a mahogany core so it's not light (I'll check weight and confirm but I'm sure it's 10lbs +)

The Alembic optional extras of curly redwood top and oval mother of pearl fretboard inlays. I think the curly redwood and slim shape give it great looks - imho one of the best looking Alembics that I've seen (just my opinion).

Most important of all, this bass is capable of an absolutely huge tone! (that I think you'd probably expect from the more expensive Alembics).

Here's the build spec from Alembic

I've struggled to find what I think is a fair market value for this so I'm going to ask £3000 and value your feedback/reactions.

That top is absolutely stunning - the most beautiful timbers I've seen have been on Alembics. I suppose that at 2k dollars a slice for some of this stuff, you'd expect it. The curly redwood here is outstanding! Indeed, this bass has some high-end Alembics features. Actually a bit of a bargain if you look at current prices (and it should balance well!) Good luck - a beauty!

Yes - great balance due to the long horn and offset body.
Looks like the list price is currently $10,000 + (& import duty, & an extra 20% due to terrible exchange rate!)) :)
