    These are great cabs, I sold a pair a little while ago & still kinda miss them

    I can tell you what mine went for if you need a valuation at a later date In fact - so can Michael because he sold it to me & I moved it at the same price, lol.

    [quote name='bassmanady' post='927113' date='Aug 17 2010, 12:44 AM']I have sold it now Barrie...the weight was probally one reason,and i never really got on with the preamp filters and controls[/quote] I think all Alembics are pretty heavy If anyone is interested in a Rogue & concerned about the complexity of the controls then this particular one isn't representative of a standard model as it had the full Signature electronics package installed.

    I owned a 5 string Rogue for a while. It went to Bassmanady - not sure if he still has it or not though.

    Ah that's a shame. I love some the classic Gap Band stuff They were fantastic live - great showmen.

    [quote name='Clarky' post='926852' date='Aug 16 2010, 08:11 PM']Thanks again. As an opener I have put up a message in the 'Troubleshooting' section in the Alembic Club ...which will almost certainly be read by the Alembic factory-based mods. Fingers crossed[/quote] That Alembic forum has some real pro guys who know everything about their favourite basses. I met a couple of them for dinner one night when I was last in the States. Happy to ask their specific opinions if you don't get much joy from your post

    Marc - you are the only person I know with a 'valve collection'. I admire your style

    Price reduced to £1,200 Potential options to take credit cards on this if that helps

    Had a couple of interesting trade offers on this but nothing confirmed yet - happy to consider trades though. Especially for something that might be easy to sell like a US Fender or MusicMan or a Lakland Skyline etc. Here's another pic from Mike's original thread :

    And then there's : [i]french solo bassist Albin Suffys at "Zon Guitars" (in California) testing one of [b]the most fabulous fretted bass in the world[/b]: the VB-4, created by the so talented stringed-instrument maker, Joe Zon.[/i] One thing I should add to this post is that I'm selling this bass, along with a few others, purely to make way for some new incoming basses & I simply can't play them all. I'm not desperate for money or in any huge rush to sell and, although I'll listen to offers, I believe the price I've set is fair for something that's as rare and desired as this

    Well bugger me - what sad news. I was out hunting for band names today & spotted the Jellied Reels & raised a smile thinking about Si. I'm another who only ever met Si by message and email but always felt he was a 'mate' I could ask for help on anything bass or web site related. He went way beyond the 'call of duty' to help me with some web dev work when he was supposed to be packing to go on holiday and then when he was actually away &, supposedly, not going online & sending messages to people. I'll certainly miss him here a lot.

    [quote name='4 candles' post='924335' date='Aug 13 2010, 08:20 PM']Id love to buy this, but ive just recently brought a blue bass! Ive owned some shuker basses and can safely say the build quality is awesome buy with confidence, Barrie is very thorough and accurate with his descriptions and is a gentleman of the highest order.[/quote] Thanks Mark One thing a couple of people have asked me about is the weight of this. It comes in at bang on 9lbs (maybe a fraction under but not much). I can honestly say that it 'feels' lighter on the strap - I have no idea how but it seems to balance so well that I would have guessed it to be a good half pound lighter!

    [quote name='warwickhunt' post='924084' date='Aug 13 2010, 04:12 PM']The rarity of this set neck VB4 should be warranting a quicker sale especially at the price. [/quote] You know, I don't think I've ever seen another one in the UK - other than in the hands of Michael Manring

    I generally try to pick up all of HH's albums - sometimes a bit patchy but there's always some real gems kicking around and that falsetto kills me every time! This track sounds a bit messy in a couple of places - not sure if it's a remix or just a glitchy upload? I think this is the original version? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1hjI6XVoRU&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1hjI6XVoRU...feature=related[/url] This is my other favourite with Stanley [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT7ZM6HLfig"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT7ZM6HLfig[/url]

    Wow - didn't you just buy this recently?

    [quote name='warwickhunt' post='924132' date='Aug 13 2010, 04:54 PM']The Consat Straight; I watched... and watched... and watched... but managed to stay my bidding finger! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Marleaux-Consat-Straight-/230506407716?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Marleaux-Consat-Stra...ents_Guitars_CV[/url][/quote] Phew - pleased it was a single Hb design - I don't really like those very much, lol.

    My buyer has pulled out so the Zon is back up for sale. If you fancy one of these without a long wait then zap me a message
  19. molan
    I really enjoyed the whole thing, maybe I'm just a saddo bass nut though I thought it was really interesting to watch different players with massively different technique & core tone interpreting the same part.

    Just a quick note about the battery I mentioned above. It's the LED circuit, which has an independent battery, that seemed to be draining power quickly not the main pre-amp power. John is going to take a look and, if there is a problem will sort it before the bass is sold. He was unable to make today but it should be cleared very soon

    [quote name='Geddys nose' post='923105' date='Aug 12 2010, 07:37 PM']Jeez that was cheap ,there was a Marleaux that went yesterday for £450 and that was a £1800+ bass when new, Not good for selling at the 'mo.[/quote] A Marleaux for £450 is a crazy price, was it a nice finish top?
  22. molan
    Low price, big font, have you been to Direct Marketing school Nice amps these, played one for a while a couple of weeks ago and had forgotten just how good they were
  23. molan
    Well - looks like the scarcity of Performance Guitars isn't helping demand on this so let's drop price by a decent amount & see if stirs up any interest How about £1,200 for a hand-built boutique Los Angeles manufactured beauty?
  24. molan
    Few people interested but no firm offers yet - so a pre 'visit back to its maker' bump
  25. molan
    My buyer hasn't been around for a few days - may just be that Italy is pretty much 'closed' in August, lol. If not then the Zon may be back up for sale soon
