Absolutely stunning and a ridiculous bargain in my opinion. I’ve had two Overwater PJs and both spectacular in every way

Four string set of short-scale flatwound strings. Cut for a two a side head. I've no idea what these are but they're in good condition and don't appear to have seen a lot of use. They're nice and clean too - 'silks look a bit used but aren't tatty. These came off a fairly high-end bass so I doubt they're cheap (possible La Bella - somebody may be able to tell from the wrap and silks?). £8 with UK shipping included

I did own this - it's an absolutely fantastic instrument - real boutique quality. IMO, an excellent price indeed!

Looking forward to the pics of this - my favourite of all the lovely bass amps I've heard, tried and owned. Truly majestic. I have a slight preference for these over the 751 (revised tone-stack included). Do I need another? I've had three and still have one of them - one of the few pieces of gear that's actually hung around!

Sorry, I missed this (and thanks Hellzero) - this is still available

Long-shot on BC but worth a try (the ad is on Club Alembic too). A used DS-5R power supply in good, gigged condition and perfect working order. The unit has some superficial marks but no dents or bends! Comes with the Alembic cable for Series basses - this is in perfect working order but could benefit from a little care - a screw is missing from one of the connectors (see images). Original build date is around 2008. I can ship this in the UK for £10 - please ask for further afield

An Alembic Supercord ASC 20 (20 foot) Active Cable. I've been using this with a passive bass and it's excellent for guitars too - essentially, it gives you 'more' of the inherent/baked-in tone of whatever you put through it. The cord doesn't really add anything, it simply ensures that nothing (or less) is lost. Alembic's own explanation appears on the reverse of the card in an image below. I'm playing actives almost exclusively and virtually no guitar at all so this can move on. These are outrageously expensive - £395 in the UK - and outrageously beautifully constructed (the box is made from purple heart, flame maple and ebony) - high-quality Gotham cable and GH silent plugs. This example looks like new and has been used very infrequently and only in a home environment (it's mint). I suspect that there's a less expensive way of achieving the same result, but if it's got to be Alembic (and it needs to look as beautiful as it sounds), then this is the one. Price includes next day UK shipping with insurance. For Europe, drop me a note. Possibly a long-shot on Basschat so this is up on Club Alembic too.

A Lexicon MPX G2 multi effect unit in extraordinary condition for its age (and still with the manual!) There's some very minor rack marking but this is a very clean unit overall and works perfectly (I've taken some images with flash to highlight any marks, but these really are minimal). I'm sure that if you're looking, you'll know what this is and what it does. A very expensive pro rack unit when launched and something that changed the face of guitar/bass effects (for those that could afford one). Whilst the unit was designed fundamentally for guitar, it works beautifully with bass... dare I venture, somewhat better in most modes than the Line 6 units I've tried, including the Helix. Really a pro unit - I tried it up against my Helix Stomp this morning and it blew the latter away in almost every respect - the quality and depth of effects is outstanding and the reverbs are of a different order (you'd expect this with Lexicon anyway). The Stomp is staying as it's a convenient package and good enough for live/rehearsals - I just don't lug too much rack gear around anymore. The Lexicon has multiple ins/outs and midi connections - all explained in the manual. As far as effects are concerned, and programmability, there isn't much it can't do (really well). A vintage classic with a well-deserved and highly positive reputation. Collection in Manchester is good, though I can ship for around £10 to the UK. Any questions, please just ask.

I know that there was one on sale here in a shock rack and that weighed-in at 70lbs+ - I suspect that 40lbs is closer to the mark here (without the case). I've always preferred SS power sections (and front-ends for that matter - it took me a long time to work this out), but I'd absolutely love this. What a very beautiful monster

Lovely bass and incredibly light for this vintage - these have a tone like no other J in my experience

Wow, I've always lusted after this particular bass - what an unbelievably gorgeous top - the flame in myrtle can be hypnotic (and the top of this surely is)

On Hold

I have a used Alembic hard case from around 2008. It is designed to fit a small bodied standard bass (short-scale). There are external marks and scuffs from a decade of gigging, though the case remains strong and robust and the plush-lined foam is entirely intact. All the latches work, though the right hand latch retaining spring (the spring that holds the lock-up when open) is non-operational. The only other minor issues are that the studded closure tab for the accessories compartment door is missing as are the keys for the case. The cases are made by G&G for Alembic and are incredibly expensive when new (around £350 I think). It may fit a Gibson SG, EB0 or EB3 though I can't be sure of this. Collection in Manchester is good or I can ship (by sticking a shipping note to the outside of the case - I don't have a box). The case looks shiny in the second image, though this is simply because I'd wiped over the dust with a damp cloth. Possibly a long-shot on BC but worth a try - the case will be advertised on Alembic Club too. Price is £60 collected but I can ship to the UK and Europe at cost. Any questions, please just ask. Update - I've had a look at this and it would probably be possible (fairly easily) to remove/adjust the foam body insert. If somebody wished to do this, then the case would fit a wider range of basses - it's fairly long so will take a 34" scale bass. However, I just tried it with a Precision and it won't accommodate the top horn. You'll see from the images that the case has an extended accessories compartment - this extends around an inch too far to permit insertion of a P! It's designed to fit something like an Alembic Stanley Clarke model with the wide but short body - removing the body-fit foam would leave a reasonably large body space but not a long one (for the top horn at least). .

I picked this up last week as another in a long line of pointless purchases (I've had wireless from the most expensive to the incredibly cheap and still prefer cables - I thought the bug style transmitter might convince me but it hasn't) So, for sale at £85 collected in Manchester (or I can ship for an extra £3.50 or for £6 if you want insurance) This was sold to me as new but when it arrived the plastic bags had been opened and the micro-bubble sticker attached to the transmitter battery door. I can't find any marks or signs of usage and the unit appears to work perfectly (I tried it for around 20 minutes). All adaptors are included and the unit appears to be unused apart from the opened bags. Please just let me know if you have any questions

I think I used to own this - if it’s the same bass, it’s a fabulous instrument in every way! Very tempted to have this back

Lovely body contouring on this!

Absolutely beautiful - for me, the finest high-end Fender type basses available (and Stenback apart, I’ve tried most) - great prices on these too (IMO of course). Fralin’s work perfectly in these... that said, so do Lollars. GLWTS, I doubt you’ll need it
