Clarky Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 The first Alembic Classico upright bass ever made, being sold through the Gallery.

ficelles Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 For what it is, that's actually remarkably good value. If I weren't so poor I'd have it... maybe Santa will make it happen ficelles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 If its not good enough for John Giblin, its not good enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a lot of moolah for what is, after all, an EUB ... even if a very high quality EUB. I flagged it up as there may be someone who is itching for one of these, given their rarity value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like gassing for an Aston Martin; would you really want to take one to the supermarket car park? I'd end up getting a music room specially built to house the thing. And air conditioning. And insurance. And swearing not to play it while pissed. And no matter when I played it I'd still sound like cr*p. :0 Edited December 23, 2011 by fatback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I'd be more interested in the Zon fretless.....but at half the price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of those would you need to play? Truly staggered at the notion of being able to just buy a double-bass made in 1755. Basschat needs an emoticon for wide-eyed astonishment.
