Damien Dooris Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Stunning looking bass, best of luck with the sale....bump on your behalf!
Chris2112 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I don't think it's concerns over shipping that is putting anyone off, shipping things like this in Europe has come in leaps and bounds in the past few years. Rather, the money (across the whole of Europe) is very tight and as a result expensive basses take a while to shift.
Piotr Gruby Milczarek Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 I guess that might be the case.
Chris2112 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I can tell you, were I planning on spending near £3000 on a bass I'd have this! But that money might get me a nice German touring car...
Piotr Gruby Milczarek Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 It's your money, but even the best german car will not sound like an Alembic does I think we can settle on [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]£[/font][/color]2500.
