A piece of Bass history

[TheGreek]

1973 Alembic - 33rd bass made by them - love to grab this and put it away.

Not exactly a looker is it!!

Did they try for fugly?

I'm not sure the 33rd ever made is early enough to make it particularly collectible?

Its only collectable to the bloke who owns it, I guess. There are some Alembic owners out there who would enjoy the bragging rights and status boost within their own online community and lets face it, many of them are wealthy enough not to blink at that asking price.

A bass with a DIN plug ... God I hate midi.

Not sure about the price. But the bass looks a real sweety.
Pity about the short scale.
If only it was a 5 I'd be all over it!
What's the weight?... oh really.. shame.
LOL!

Lovely looking bass of that era. Have always wondered how much of a 'neck diver'. Price is a bit strong for me to take a 'punt'

I love the way they've used a bamboo bin as a stand. I also love the way they've placed the face of a wood finish bass against asphalt. Really generates confidence...

[Hellzero]

That way of putting highly priced instruments on concrete or asphalt or whatever that is damaging them show the way they respect their customers and the "things" they sell, without speaking of the cars photographed with them.

Money, money, money,...

Ooh a year of birth bass.
I could never own a bass that looked like cheese on toast though.

[Luulox]

I predict this will still be for sale when hell freezes over.

And the Eagles reunion. :-))
