Quick everyone, take advantage of his madness!![/quote] Behave! nope, this isn't the one from the gallery, that was a walnut topped standard model, & I am taking a bit of a hit on this but something has caught my eye! not thinking of opening your famously clam like wallet are you?!
molan Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Do you know why this is a 'special' (other than being very nice indeed, lol).

lozbass Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 This is ridiculously cheap! These are very nice, very versatile basses with the usual Alembic build-quality.
