jmanfunk Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I've dealt with Dirk before and he is a gent to say the least so you can be sure to buy with confidence. Although for that kind of money I would fly to Belgium and hire a small security team to escort [i]it[/i] and [b]me[/b] back home! That bass is simply exquisite Good luck with the sale Dirk. Jay.

molan Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 That really is lovely Dirk. I'm a recent convert to the joys of Alembic ownership and this is one of the nicest I'ne ever seen.

jakenewmanbass Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I would like to try series electronics but to spend that money I would want the string spacing to be narrower a la MJ basses. I had a warwick with narrower spacing than my MK5 deluxe and it's the only detail of the warwick that I miss. Anyway this bass deserves a bump.

GreeneKing Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I just found this thread and it's doing nothing for my love of Alembic combined with the finances of a student. It is a true work of art. Bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
