Xtof Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Hello, folks! I am selling my Alembic MK sig 5 string. No need to introduce the brand, so let me introduce this instrument! ;-) This is a Mark King signature standard, but with several options, which makes it very special! Built in 2003, it's a long scale bass; here are the woods used : Top laminate : figured walnut Back laminate : figured walnut Body wood : Mahogany Neck woods : Maple & purpleheart Fingerboard : Ebony Inlays : mother of pearl Electronics : Signature Series Machine heads : Hipshot UltraLite USA ( the original ones have been changed by the previous owner, but I have them) Custom features : Balance point omega body and mandolin frets I am selling it to get money for another instrument project. The bass has a few dings, since I have been playing it for about 250 gigs in the last 4 years. Another trouble is that the varnish is beginning to crack in the back; Guys from the Alembic forum said that this kind of problem might be because of a very quick change of temperature. I'm not an instrument collector, but I always take good care of the instrument I'm using, so I'm a little confused about it. (see the last picture) Because of this, the price is, in my opinion, rather interesting : 2950 euros Here are a few pictures of the instrument [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/717/p1060206l.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/23/p1060212d.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/692/p1060214slj.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/833/p1060213w.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/37/p1060209r.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/803/p1060208j.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/152/p1060211.jpg/"][/url] This bass sounds fantastic, as you might guess! The bass is sold with a Harvest gigbag. I am located in France, near Lyon. If you have any questions, help yourself!! :-) Edited November 25, 2012 by Xtof
