jazzyvee Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'm stalking this bass on-line... it's gorgeous and something that without willpower I could easily fall for on an impulse buy. I hope you find a buyer soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undertone Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hey thanks! Lovely bass indeed. Would love to keep it but can't justify it. Open to offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undertone Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Top build quality here, precision intonation, great feel, ergonomic (particularly for an Alembic), plays beautifully. Ping me any questions. Edited January 25, 2016 by Undertone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfan Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 that really is gorgeous ... What kind of trades are you looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undertone Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Hi - thankyou - looking for an outright sale as I just bought an Alembic Europa 5, so I need a cash sale. Could potentially be interested in a Fender Jazz '62-'65 (refin but all else original except scratchplate) + cash to the owner. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzyvee Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hey Undertone I love alembic Europa basses, have you posted any pics on this forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undertone Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hi there - I haven't but no reason I couldn't! So I will! Yes, having owned the Europa for a month now, I love it - such precision, workmanship, tone flexibility, balance - I could go on. Got the inlaid neck LED's as a bonus too, and as it's a custom model, it has a Series I headstock design - this one's a keeper, although I have to say, it's heavy.... This 4-string Elan's really nice too but I bought it when I really wanted an Alembic and an affordable 5-string wasn't available so I bought it & then bought the Europa when one became available.

Undertone Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Elan is still available folks (clean sale - no trades - I need to cash in here). Regards Edited January 25, 2016 by Undertone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
